When I saw the motors I figured that the robot might possibly be equipped with the same amount on the other sides. That is where I got the "8" figure. I guess that much power would be pointless in this year's competition, seeing that the competition will be a little bit more restricted than last year's. (i.e. you can't purposefully or accidentally hit "hurtling" bots, the other robots have to avoid them during that process. this causes that portion of the field to be occupied. The dual motor concept is an excellent way to get your bot around, but the whole speed issue is cut short when maneuverability comes into play.('dodging' other robots) I think that team will perform excellent if they have the right driver. (As will any decent team...)

Well, GOOD LUCK TEAM 2013, and GOOD LUCK Team 1771!
