Your almost certanly pushing the motors to hard by not gearing them down enough. Don't run motors full bore for long because you kill them. Keep in mind most of the parts for the bot are only intended to work in short bursts.

Get a can of air, flip it upside down and spray the motor. This should add half a minut. Metal motor brackets can double as a heatsinks.
