Lord Nerdlinger has a little shameless behaviour in the past
ya the robot runs fine i think this is the problem

"If you are over working the motors and they get hot (remember the cims have no fan or anyway of circulating air) there is a possibility that the windings inside have shorted. The condition results in low power out, high current in and a burned smell when near the motor. Sorry, there is no coming back from this failure, replacement is the only answer."

b/c there is a faint smell around them, and the motors are hot to the touch. Can we order replacement motors and bring them with us to the competietion, then switch em out on thursday?
