It would be most interesting if teams experiencing hot CIM motors could provide some information about their robot design.

In the case of CIMs used for driving, that data might include ratio of gearbox, sprocket teeth count if using chains, how many CIMs (2 or 4 or ?), and wheel diameter and type of wheel.
