Are any of the wires marked in a fashion similar or identical to the schematic?
Where did you get the schematic, was it in or on the motor ?
Do you have an adjustable power supply to test these with? It would be unwise to hook any wires to the Mains supply without some means of reducing both current and voltage, until you are sure of the wiring.
All that said, if the schematic actually goes to this motor, then likely it is a guide to change the motor's direction or operating voltage or both, that is pretty typical of A/C induction motors.
ALSO A/C induction motors usually require a rather large capacitor to enable them to start. Have you disassembled one or these ? If so, where do the wires go? Do you know what these were originally used for?
Other than the schematic, do you have any evidence to indicate these are A/C motors?
If these are A/c motors, how YA going to make a robot out of them? Maybe cheaper to adapt a D/C motor to the gear box.
One more question, are there any markings on the motor, Maker, MOD. #, Serial Number ?
