Re: Best way to cool CIM motors?

Thanks for the ideas everyone!! I saw a team with a pneumatic disk brake system which seems to work quite well. Unfortunately that won't work with our design though. I'll look at using the window motors we got in the KOP, but our carriage that our forklift mechanism is attached to is made of 2mm steel tube, so it's quite heavy.

I agree that a physical mechanism is the best method, but due to budget constraints we don't have any pneumatics. Can I ask why computer fans shouldn't be mounted to our robot?
