Unhappy Window Motors Overheat And Cut
Hello,

We have 2 window wiper motors controlling an up/down arm.
However, once in a while the motor's overheat and cut out for a bit(No more then 30 sec, haven't measures exactly). This is detrimental to our robot's performance. Is there any way, mechanically, electrically or in software that this can be fixed. Keep in mind that we only have one day to alter this, when we get our robot at the regional.
