Some teams have reported that the brush assy is easily broken and FIRST is recommending that teams DO NOT solder new wires to the motors as the brush assy is plastic and easily melted. Is it possible that brush assy was damaged before this incident and the brushes were actually shorting? Please let us know what you found.

Our lead electrical engineer tried it today on one of our 3 busted drill motors. He desoldered the old wires and took them off. Then he used one of those connectors after he cut the plastic end off. He slipped that over the drill motor part, and soldered the connector to the motor (only heating it on one side). It works really well and didnt melt the surrouding plastic or damage the motor.
