Melting Point...

The plastic gears in the FP motors are extremely low quality. Any robot over 105 lbs has a magnificent chance of stripping or melting the gears if under heavy load, such as in a pushing situation. They are just overall bad for robots. The motors themselves are decent enough, but the gearboxes are horrible. Take this from a guy that saw both of his melt and almost catch the rug on fire last year.
