Removing the screws on most motor controllers creates debris within the motor controller as a consequence (i.e. it doesn't have to fall in, it is already there). If I recall correctly, both Jaguar and Victor (at least 884) use captive screw terminals. When the screws are removed, little bits of the removed screw are left behind. This was a bigger problem for Jaguar due to the lack of conformal coating (before VEX manufacture).
