Radio Cable Burning!!!

OK, Im really confused our team has burned up 3 radio cables. The cables that run from the robot controller to the radio sender/reciever box. We dont have the wire coiled up or anything.....but after about 5min of running the wires burn and short each other out. It also burns the outside plastic that covers all the wires. It actualy makes the outer plastic burn and blister....and somtimes its very hot to the touch. So what might be going on......we dont coil the wires, or run them parallel to other wires!!!!! Any help?
