:Lesson: If you
: are using van door motors as a drive system (1 team was)
: they get hot. Give them air and don't over practice.


DateLine 1996. Our team (TJē) was using the seat motors for it's drive system. Yes i'm completely serious, we used them to drive our wheels. You think that's bad, ask Moe or Terry about the "speed controller" we made.

But anyway, those seat motors get really hot when you strain them like that, and we found that by putting an Icepack (Johnson&Johnson brand of course) over the motors a few minutes before the match would allow them to run it bit longer before the heat sensor tripped. Another thing we found, but didn't use cause we couldn't find a can of it, was compressed refrigant. We saw a few teams spraying it onto the motors, and Volia, instant frostie.

Don't know the name of it, but I saw some at Radio Shack the other day.

Good luck

Mike

Ps. Someone mentioned that this year was a sea of sissor lifts. We had a Sissor lift way back in 1996. There are some much better pictures on our website. None of 1999 yet
