for the prototype, we were using the standard CIM (aka "drive") motors that come in the KoP - mostly because it was easy, i think. If you remember from the kick off, 2-motor drive versus 4-motor drive didn't really make a difference, which frees up those two motors for something...

Of course, this was just our prototype, and the entire team learned a lot from watching it perform (and had some great ideas to improve performance, accuracy, size, and weight). All of the parts for it were already sitting around our build space, so it's definitely bigger and heavier than it needs to be!
