I wouldn't worry about heat, I can only speak from personal experiences, but my team has never come close to burning out a CIM. We have had some issues with the Denso motors though. If a CIM overheats, it will likely be a result of multiple matches, and not one tough match. My team leaves a can of Dust-Off on our cart. It's very cold and a quick spray will cool off your CIMS. It is also made for electronic devices, so it can't do damage if it gets into any part of you circuitry. You have time to cool them between matches, even in the finals, and this way you don't have to worry about one extra part on the robot (or fraction of a pound, which we all know means a lot when you go to get inspected).
