Several of the short thermal straps that thermally strap the PB and RBs to the RAT enclosure popped off before NTS. NTS data has not been thoroughly reviewed yet, but it appears this did not lead to overheating of the smaller chips. We need to modify the thermally strapping so we don't have these "broken" straps. I'm thinking we can just epoxy on heat sinks that will radiate the head away.
