Also something else to think about is that your robot is going to travel at about 2fps if you direct drive off of the window motors.
actually more like 4-6(we actually put them on a 2x4 and clamped them underneath our 2008 robot and drove it on the FRP and clocked the speed....



anyways.....its still a prototype
