I'm apart of a teem for the first year this year and would appreciate and feedback.

We'll in my 15 years of FIRST, I have seen about on average 2 bots a year catch on fire due to electrical issues. In the past we have had CIMs get hot and we figured a way to cool them down, we found a coolant spray at RadioShack. Usually it's not that problematic. You're given enough time to "cool down" in between matches and such. If you have any problems let us know.
