The shooter motors only see brief spikes in current when a disc is being shot, otherwise they draw almost nothing. The arm is powered by 2 CIM motors, but it also does not see enough continuous load to justify putting fans on the talons. After 5 minutes of driving and shooting the talons on the arm barely start to warm up.
So far we've been thrilled with the Talons.

Ah, okay. I assumed I just didn't see the ones with the fans, and assumed that the fanless ones were used for other things.
