I too am wondering the same thing. It looks like a CIMple Box with that direct drives 8" wheels (custom hex output shaft?). If this is in fact the case, this robot likely will not have enough torque to initiate movement of a 150 pound robot (battery and bumpers included), or you will not be able to reach a max speed given the length of the field. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Edit: I realized that the Toughbox mini has a very similar look to the CIMple box, in which case the gearing (depending on which gears you chose) is probably reasonable for a FIRST robot. I'm still curious what the ratio is, and what speeds you expect.
Your team will be more of a team and not a group of students who are just building a robot. Instead of being in FIRST, you will be FIRST. - JackN [more]
