The CT eliminations (in week 5) saw multiple robot loss of control events from several good teams, some of which were clearly robot system issues (IIRC faulty battery connector, USB hub disconnection) but also others which had no clear cause identified at the time.
As Steven suggested it's possible that 118 suffered from the same subtle and unfortunate system interaction bug that was discovered before the Einstein investigation weekend.
But one of the effects of the Einstein revelations on us all as a community is that now there has to be some suspicion that a similar act of interference occurred at Hartford.
Innocence lost...
