Sounds like a good test. Thank you for doing this.
I would suggest only 2 changes:
1) record the outside case temperature of each motor (in addition to the brush guides), and
2) add a lower torque (higher speed) test point of 2.5 Nm (at the gearbox output shaft).
Rationale:
1) Since motor case temperature is the metric most familiar to FRC students, it would be enlightening to record that and show how it does (or doesn't) correlate with brush guide temperature.
2) Higher speeds are where the mini might be expected to fare worse than the CIM. Useful to have a data point there.
