I'm not aware of any metal in speed controllers on our robots, we've never lost a controller except one that was DOA (inspection showed no metal in it, and it didn't smoke or melt anything).
This year it was extra easy to keep metal out of them, since the electronics box opening points away from the rest of the robot, and besides there's not much metal in the robot, since the chassis, electronics box, shooter, and it's support plate are all made of wood!
