Re: Robot Cool Down Period...?

You started as soon as the robot was off the field and stopped when the robot was back on the field. Maybe you hit the breakers with some loving to keep them from glowing.

Is it good for the motors? Not at all. But then neither is getting the motors that hot in the first place. Pour on the Thermal-shock-in-a-can! It's still a viable option today.

I bet that works well to get them cooled down. It's really, really cold on the hands once it's turned upside-down.
