We saw smoke

Our drivetrain uses both the FP and Drill. After running the bot for over an hour straight the solder melted off the two Drill and only the FP were left. The robot continued on for another 10 minutes on only half power until the FP went up in smoke, it looks like the fan in the motor melted. (we even had full heatsinks too) after that we gave it a rest after about 15 minute intervals
