We've noticed that the motors didn't cool properly due to a lack of ventilation holes...

this last year we test-built a forced circulation system so that we could get a little more air in there since our old clamping system prevented air from getting in there. worked alright, we wired it to run anytime the battery was in so that air would move over the motors especially when the robot wasn't in motion.

how do others work against motor heat exhaustion?
