To be able to have fans, or even an enclosure would mean weight. We still have about 12 lbs to lose, after shaving 10-12 right quickly. We are considering lightening the air compressor with some holes...hey! now we don't need other fans!

If your using FPs - lose the plastic housing.

By locating the fans of the PWMs just below the motor in question, air can be directed over the motor. This is a pretty easy way to get 'free' cooling.

BTW, if your mototrs are so hot at the end of a match that you can't touch them, re-evaluate your design and tactics.

Does anyone know if you are allowed to have the pneumatic system spray some air over the motors?

I don't see why not. Are you talking about using the compressor to directly blow air over the motor, or just directing your exhaust?

Just to blow air over the motor. Our current pneumatics dont use much air so why not use some of it to cool our motors if we get in a shoving match.
