Not at all hard, just requires a judicious application of non-conducting materials. In our 2011 robot it happened by accident. In our 2012 robot it happened by design.
In this picture are the two from our 2011 robot. They are both mounted to wood and are chained to an axle supported by plastic (rulon) plain bearings. They have worked flawlessly through driver training, a Week 0, GSR to 3rd semi-final match, Palmetto to 1/4 finals, and many more hours of demos.

Here is a picture of our prototype shooter, the motors and everything metallic they are connected to are mounted in lexan plates, no problem.
