Does motor temp affect performance?

We just completed the Michigan State Championship last weekend and during all of the qualification matches we were running top notch. Drive fast, turn efficiently, cross bump with ease etc. Once we got into the elimination rounds, our robot performance started to drop drastically. We kept trying to figure out what was wrong but we really could not find a cause. In the actual Finals rounds we started to feel our CIMS (4 of them 2per side for drive train) and they were extremely hot, literally almost too hot to touch. We were curious as to if the temperature of the motors could have something to do with performance of our robot? If anyone has any info on how CIMs will work/break down, how temperature affects them, etc that would be great! Thanks.
