Luca,
Very nice drawing. To secure the RCX all you need is a couple beams that run along
the bottom, and you can use a couple vertical beams (six stud long) to pin into the
holes on the side of the RCX.

This may be a small problem, but no, I don't think it will work.
The problem is having those wheels attached directly to the motors will make it go
very fast, but it won't have much torque. Because it's a differential drive (skid
steer) I doubt it will have enough torque to turn, except on a pretty smooth
surface.
I could be wrong. It may work. The best way to find out is to try it.
