We had an FP driving our arm last year that was extremely prone to overheating (although to be fair, we were really abusing it like that). To rectify the problem, we took a fan akin to the big (3x3) muffin fans that FIRST gives us in the KoP and slapped it on our bot, right at the FP's vents. We still had to use compressed air to cool it down every so often, but there's no doubt that that fan was what saved our FP.
