I wonder if anyone has actually smoked a CIM... maybe they ARE indestructible in an FRC context.

Yes, 190 has. I do not remember the year, 2004 maybe. They did a mecanum drive and were overheating the CIMS big time. The robot rule that says "thow shalt not modify motor housings" belongs to 190 because they cut a window in the CIM housing and had small muffin fans on the other side/end pulling air through the windings. a really neat solution, actuallly.
