dont bother with a middle weight, and if you do drills would be waaaay underpowered go for wheelchair motors or bosch 400/750s
build a featherweight, they are cheeper and there are actaaly competitions for them. you can use drills in a feather.

Build a featherweight, Drill motors are fine for feathers. Feathers a nice easy start point and is the most popular weight class. Plus you can build them quite cheap. And if I was you I wouldnt build a robot with a spinning weapon because you will only be able to use it once or twice a year at Robo Challenge events
