Imagine two of your motors have a short to the case, and they're mounted to metal parts of your robot that connect...interesting things might happen.
I think it's also against the rules to have any power applied to the metal parts of the robot.

<R36> All wiring and electrical devices, including all control system components, shall be electrically isolated from the ROBOT frame. The ROBOT frame must not be used to carry electrical current (e.g. this is necessary due to polarity reversals that occur under certain operating conditions such as during motor direction reversals).
