Jaguar fans

Got a question for everyone here... Has anyone else had problems with their Jaguar fans? I did a quick search and didn't see anything specifically about this...

Our practice bot went over the bump pretty hard today, and from what i've been told, one of the fans started making a loud grinding sound. Unfortunately, they didn't tell me until the meeting was over, the Jaguars were cool, and I didn't have time to run it until the fans were going again. Apparently the buzz would go away after tapping the top of the Jag (somewhat hard), but come back again the next time the robot bounces.

Anyways, we suspect the fan blades got knocked off their bearings. We'll be opening it up and taking a look at it at our Monday meeting, but I figured i'd post and see if anyone else has seen this.
