Magic smoke. Most of the brushless motors in the hobby market--a likely source for FRC-level motors--are designed to run at speed with light loading. If you put a heavier load on them, they have a hard time.

There was a thread about a year or two ago with a lengthy discussion on benefits/drawbacks of brushless motors.
