Anecdotal story: Last year the students were doing a demo, for several hours. Eventually the performance of the robot was quite abysmal. I noticed the motors were hot...REALLY hot. I took some damp paper towels and wrapped them around the motor...you could hear the water sizzle and evaporate off. So maybe CoolerMaster could make a water cooling block for CIM motors!
