Re: Cold Electricity?
With no restriction on the use of muffin fans, I'd just setup a mean duct around a motor. From what I know about CPU cooling, there's a good chance most of the heatsinks you see around on FIRST robots are having a negative effect. If a heatsink doesn't have absolutely great contact, it really does a good job at insulating. Every metal-to-air interface is like a narrow road for heat. Even a good weld doesn't conduct as well as a single piece of metal.
