Looks like FIRST has heard of this problem (From Team Update 16):
"In Team Update #6, FIRST allowed teams to connect their custom circuit(s) to the
programming port on the Robot Controller. Unrelated to this, there have been reports of
some static electricity discharges on the ramp / field. TEAMS SHOULD BE CAUTIONED
THAT PIN 4 OF THE PROGRAMMING PORT IS RESET. Teams that connect their
custom circuit(s) to the programming port have the ?potential? to initiate ?reset? by a static
discharge, which may result in unknown actions by your robot."
Ah the joys of ESD management.
