Re: Dry Ice as Motor Coolant

I agree that you should make sure that the motor isn't actually overheating.

If it is, the solution that many teams use (254 and 1114 on Einstein for example) is getting the compressed air dusters and flipping them upside down and spraying them at the motors between every match.

I recognize that this does not answer the question of whether it's legal to have dry ice but this may be an easier solution anyways.
