How to tell when FPs fry?

To anyone who is discouraged about their team, don't let yourself get down. I've seen my team go from having a robot that barely moved (and I'm not kidding, we had keys falling out of gearboxes) to this year with a robot that is ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK. Don't lose hope, stick with FIRST! - ZipTie3182 [more]

How to tell when FPs fry?

How do the FPs burn out? Do they give out lots of smoke and make it obvious, or do they sometimes just slowly lose torque. I'm asking because I suspect we partially burned ours out before ship.
