A bit off topic, but while I'm not sure about full voltage, I found this year that they're actually quite tolerant of stalls at partial voltage; they can go a surprisingly long time at 50% - I believe we went the better part of a match with one stalled in such a manner when we had a limit switch fail during the DC regional, with no obvious damage to the motor.
