If the resin looks wavy and non uniform you have a definite wiring problem.
I don't recall seeing any resin damage (what you're seeing may be just the poor quality of photo resizing done by mspaint), but I didn't take that close a look at the board - making sure the robot got rewired correctly was the more pressing issue at the time I'll make sure to take another look at it tomorrow.

But three sidecars...

Thanks for your input
