Re: Robot having internal heat problem
I don't know what size your motors are but if they are standard hobby RC car size you could try something like this with a small electric pump and tank. Do you have a picture of this robot?

EDIT: Actually, isn't there a way to make a fluid flow through a small cooling system just by using the heat (no pump required)? I think I've heard of that before, but I don't remember the details.
