Re: Robot Cool Down Period...?

Cool down period?

Back in my day we didn't have cool down periods. We had a can of compressed air held upside down.

And we liked it that way. We loved it. I have fond memories of drenching the old drill motors with that stuff between final matches. You started as soon as the robot was off the field and stopped when the robot was back on the field. Maybe you hit the breakers with some loving to keep them from glowing.

Is it good for the motors? Not at all. But then neither is getting the motors that hot in the first place. Pour on the Thermal-shock-in-a-can! It's still a viable option today.
