Drill Motor Mounts Melting
When running our robot for about 45 minutes with little break in between (i know this isn't a good idea) we noticed the odd smell of melting plastic. Upon further inspection we realized that the drill motor mounts first had provided in the kits had begun to melt due to the heat generated by the drills...
has anyone else experienced anything like this? I remeber the drill motors from last year produced alot of heat but how do last years compare to this years?

we are planning on creating some heat sinks to put on the motors to help with this issue...
can anyone else relate?
