I think I may have stumbled upon a solution on one of the home page tutorials actually. And to answer your question, I have searched briefly here and extensively on the web. I think my biggest issue admittedly is the technical terms that get me.
Anyways, The solution I found showed the use of just 4 MOSFET's per each motor and had a relative simplistic description to go along with the diagrams. I also found a 55v 64A MOSFET available through radio shack. It listed the 64A as ID though...not sure what the ID means yet...but have an idea which tells me I should be ok.
My biggest down fall was everything I found that seemed obtainable ultimately mentioned "logic" and "programming" and that's where I went even further off the track. I think I may be on to something with what I found though. Didn't mention the necessity of relays and said there should be built in diodes...
Further more, I intend to make use of a VEX robotics radio/receiver that I have from awhile ago. From my understanding just wire each of the MOSFETS to the receiver to energize the 24v circuit. Past experience tells me that it will be easier said than done!
