Gui,
The damaged Victor was most likely the result not the cause. The transistors in the Victors rarely can be shattered by a plastic bin but will blow apart when they encounter a short in the load. You may have replaced the bad controller but you haven't found the original problem yet. Keep looking.
As to the temporary failures, see my other posts on the possibility of teams powering up in the pits with modem instead of tether. It seemed more prevalent on practice day than on competition days.
Nice work on the part of officials, knowing that they can pick up one side of a robot, get it's wheels off the ground and it becomes pretty helpless.
