Power loss problems?

Our team just got back from the BAE Manchester regional, and we didn't do so good. Mainly, because we had massive power loss. Our electrical system isn't getting enough power to the drive motors to go up the ramp. However, before shipping, it was going up the exact same ramp perfectly fine.

Our team has a small theory:

Depending on how it was shipped, and stored, could the battery have gotten frozen? It's been pretty cold around here the last week or so, and it's not unlikely that it could have been in an unheated area for an extended amount of time.

Were there any other teams anywhere that experienced power loss? Especially teams that are in a much warmer climate, so as to help narrow down options.
