I'd not considered the battery issues before but that would explain one or two issues I've had this season with some teams.
RobotC compiler is FAR from perfect. A veteran team was having their brick lockup every time they were practicing their autonomous. Turned out at least 1 or 2 serious errors slipped past the compiler.
Based on the number times I've been shocked diagnosing a locked up robot, ESD plays a factor. Funnier thing is teams using the Matrix kit have not seen a lockup. I'm not sure if it's due to that or just not enough teams using it, wear and tear or another factor. It's something I'm going to be keeping an eye on.
