Re: pic: Battery connector.....
In the event of a frame fault, the cRio and/or DSC can produce some really crazy issues. In this case I suspect that the fault may have caused multiple motors to turn on in opposite directions or were commanding movement when none was possible. Why? High current in the #6 wire has to go someplace. If it shorted in a #18, then the breaker trips and the wire goes poof. If multiple loads are drawing extreme currents, then no breakers trip and no other wire gets hot enough to melt. When robots get crazy, suspect a frame fault first and look for it. It is sometimes difficult to find. You can try by pulling breakers and adding them back one at a time while looking for the issue. This is how the Banebot shorts were found a few years ago.
