You can easily get the 630w that that Scorpion produces at 4s, and even 3s with a little bit of searching. 6s seems completely unnecessary.

This, at 4s, produces over a horsepower and with 1.5:1 at that voltage would spin a 100g bar to ridiculous rpm in no time. I'd expect it to do it at a 1:1 ratio and just 3s, too. You could buy four and have enough left over for a spare set of pulleys for the price of one of those Scorpions. Of course, NTM motors don't represent the epitome of quality, but they're very easy to work with, and as I say you could have spares galore. Epoxy on the magnets wouldn't be a bad idea, but otherwise it should last the robot's lifetime just as well as the Scorp, for much less money, you claw back some weight, and it drops the need for at least one lipo.

If it weighs just 100g I'd run 3s, making life even lighter and easier.
