4 Tetrix Motors Destroyed?

Based on other posts I've seen here, I'm noticing a recurring pattern of Tetrix motors being burned out/broken quite frequently. It seems that that the motors cannot withstand any sort of shock; we have broken a total of 4 motors during testing due to what we suspect is the transmission being jammed because of an impact (minibot freewheeling back down the pole and hitting the base). How many other teams are having problems with these incredibly fragile Tetrix motors? If these motors are so easy to break, why is FIRST making us use them? Shouldn't we be able to use something a little more durable?
