I have begun planning a featherweight, keeping it simple to be a two wheel drive passive robot, it may only compete in UK robotic Games.
We were thinking of using 2 of these motors:

and gearing them at 11:1

And this speed controller

Would this work (with batteries of course, I will get around to them- can anyone reccomend suitable batteries for the motors?)?
