The new motors and gearboxes are great!!!

After the first week and a half we found out that the FIRST motor mounts were worthless for us. We broke them.... They also do not act as heat sinks

We are lucky because we encountered the problems early in the game and found simple ways to fix the problems.

I think the main reason why the wires became unsoldered is because teams used the plastic mounts which do not disperse the heat.

We changed out 1 motor and 1 gearbox on the left side of our bot during nationals only because our chain got bound up.

(we ran the same gearboxes and motors during testing, 3 regionals and the practice rounds of Nationals)
