Re: Hot Motors

one thing we have noticed about the drill motors and the supports FIRST supplied for them - the black plastic supports block a lot of air coming from the blower inside the motor.

We experimented with the parts from last year, cutting an angle into the flat sections of plastic, and the increase in airflow from the motors is VERY noticable.

We intend to mod the ones on this years robot if/when we have the motors out of the bot again.
