Re: CIM Motor Data Sheet/Operating Temperature
Our robot in 2006 actually managed to severely decrease the cims performance from them getting too hot. This happened after the first finals match on galileo when a piece of tread came off preventing our drivetrain from spinning, hence a toasted cim. Due to that the next match drivetrain response was ultra shotty and cost us the next match.

we actually made a rating system for that robot placing the cims as <1,2,3,4, or indefinite judged by how long you could hold your hand on it, when practicing we stopped just above 2.

Watch the heat, it cost us einstein
