I recall somewhere way back in this thread that at least one team had an issue, in rare instances, with a pair of 775s shorting
together , instead of through the frame. The current draw would tank the robot's voltage and cause a reset. This may not be an issue depending on your exact setup.
Joe said "I think that isolating the case (from anything, including other BB775s) will limit the damage to that one motor." which might be an issue if multiple motors are failing/failed and short together.
I guess I skipped a few details in my thought process
