We didn't really look at it in depth, but for now we are pretty sure that the set screws that connect our drive encoders to our drive axles came loose. Without the encoder turning we never got any values, and so the robot just drove backwards for a "theoretically" infinite distance.
I was behind the glass that match, and when I saw the cim dragging behind us like a tail I thought that the threads on the screws had stripped or something along those lines. I never thought we actually sheared off the face plate of the cim.
