Anyway, you appear to have a worm gear drive for the CIM motor on each wheel. Could you please explain why you think being non-backdriveable is important and also why you are settling for a lower efficiency? Thanks.
the worm drives are there basically because they give us the reduction we need in i very small package, each of those gearboxes as you can see fit nicely off in the corner of the robot and we can build anything we want around them. The non-backdriveable part is just a byproduct of using the worm gears and not our reason for using them. As for settling for a lower efficiency, these are basically the same gear boxes we used last year for our two wheel drive system and were completely satisfied with their efficiency, performance, and robustness.

the interesting part of this drive is what lies between the two front wheels and the two rear wheels, although not readily visible in the photo
