No, it wouldn't take a short. Last year we experienced this problem at VCU for the few matches before we tore apart our drive (we were getting to the goals in 1.6 seconds). We were actually drawing so much current from the battery at once that it would destabilize- ruining the battery. Needless to say, we realized our error after a few matches and corrected it to save the batteries.
