If the goal of testing is to find the 4 best motors for a drive train, would that help the goal? As long as the motors are subject to the same condition (i.e. motor in test starts room temperature, is subject to test exactly 10 times, and then wait X hours before testing with motor again).
Also thanks for the links, they're very good resources. As an aside, it looks like the VEX folks had motors catching fire in under a minute.
