I'm guessing you were not using Jaguars. If not, then this is on a system with zero ability to disable motors based on battery monitoring. The cRIO did not attempt to stop driving motors when you saw huge battery sag. I believe everything you've seen in the past is not directly applicable to the behaviors of the new system. You will need to reevaluate what you think is regularly seen.
