Re: Heat Sinks for Drill motors

I do not exactly remember, but I believe that our team fabricated heat sinks for the drill motors last year (I should check with the rest of the build team, I was not there when they installed them). But I do remember that the drill motors got extreamely hot after two minutes. We made some minor adjustments to the set-up of our robot, and added the heat sinks, and it helped a lot. We can now drive it for about six minutes before we started to run a bit low on the batteries. No more burnination of the drill motors.
