Being one of the roboteers who does run Sidewinders in heavies, so far I have blown 2 sidewinders before the current limit problem was fixed. But the first Sidewinder in Hannibal held on with 2 littons on 36V for nearly a year, and it took a broken gearbox and a litton with its wireing seezing up the motor to accomplisch the blows.

Apart from these blows that were not the sidewinders fault, Sidewinders have proven to be very reliable in all my robots. Big and small.
