Yeah, driving them past their limits is the bigger danger.
We tried a leadscrew climber last year, and someone put untested autonomous code on the field during our last practice match thursday. Well, the CIM went backwards instead of forwards, and so the screw went down instead of up, and it basically tore itself and a large portion of the robot apart.
