Team 1091 has fried multiple window motors for three years now. We are not lucky at all. For at least two years in a row now, some of our motors have been defective or put together wrong. FOr example, last year we got locktite into one of our drive motors, and this year the gearbox on the drive motor was out of alignment. We also ended up burning out a window motor when we tried to use it as a vacuum for sucking up the trackball. Apparently a little fan on the end of it creates a very large amount of resistance. we also got epoxy into another vacuum mount and the fan blade got stuck on it and burned out the second motor as well.
Also the power cables for the fan on one of our victors came loose, if a mentor hadn't spotted it, we would have ended up frying it. Which is bad.
SO i have no idea what yall are talking bout when you say theres no more magic smoke
