A main circuit breaker with a certain kind of fault can do a good job of detecting impacts in specific directions and briefly shutting off before returning to normal. A piece of metallic debris near certain components, or a stray bit of wire strand, can cause a loss of power when the robot is jerked in a specific way.
There really ought to be a better way of finding such intermittent situations than just banging and tugging on things at random, but when pressed for time anything more systematic might not be worth trying.
