The motors are equipped with right angle drives...the gear boxes have helical gear sets. The motors are a standard 24v wheelchair motor. We are using two 12v SLAs to provide the 24 volts required by the motors. Battery life is surprisingly good for a four wheel drive wheelchair.
We are currently at MIT as part of a two day exhibition by the Lemelson MIT InvenTeams. When we return from MIT we will be posting pictures, video and detailed specs for the Jester drive wheelchair.

I'll toss this out to stir up the pot: if you need double precision floats for your FRC software, you should re-think what you're doing. - Ether [more]
