Re: smoking drill motors?

Last year in a match at nationals one of our wires desoldered itself from the drill motor. It didn't break off, you could actually see the hole where it used to be soldered. They were the original blue wires too. We never used a soldering iron on them at all. This was after several elimination matches in a row, so they got very hot even though we did our best to cool them down between matches.

They desoldered themselves again in the summer while we were demonstrating the robot to some people.
