Robert,
There are a few areas where heat can be a problem. The circuit breakers are designed with bimetallic parts that when heated deform to open the circuit breaker. The FP and window motors also have thermal breakers built into their case to prevent damage to the motor. There is likely more of an issue with the devices running at elevated temperatures than anything else. Should a team design cause high currents in the motors, then the Jaguars/Victors will experience elevated temperatures, but they have fans attached. Keeping those fans unobstructed is essential. Finally, high currents, the type often encountered with tank turns on carpet without omni wheels, result in breakers tripping. The more often the trip the higher the temperature. It is not uncommon for breakers that trip under these conditions, to do so rapidly. This results in a very hot breaker. Please be careful when working around the PD right after a match.

The Crio and side cars are pretty robust so I don't think that will be an issue.
