The robot is actually going to be for a competition where ping pong balls are going to be distributed into corners of a small track. The goal is not going to be torque but speed. The esc's are now

I don't actually know what the final weight is going to be but it will likely be around 7 pounds. This is not going to be remote controller, it's going to be autonomous (self-controlled). BTW, this is his brother.
