No, they didn't. Their main breaker blew after one of three things happened. Either colliding with the other robot (1662?) caused their drive motor current to spike until the breaker blew, or the physical hit jostled the already straining breaker into opening, or the physical hit bent their bumpers just enough to hit the open button on the breaker. I have this from conversations with 1678 members and from their CD posts.
I don't believe 1678 runs auto shift code, and even if they did, I don't think it could contribute to a main breaker blow.
