4 or 5 years ago when I was walking to my teams pit first thing thursday morning I noticed the crate didn't look very true. As the team and I got closer we noticed the bottom was virtually shattered. Needless to say as we inspected the bot we noticed the corners weren't square and the drive shafts were all bent. After some calling we found out it was dropped about 4ft, some how. Every year theres always shipping horror stories. I'm not surprised to hear another.
Crating the bot is a subtle but important thing. Some teams put a fair amount of padding around and under there bot.
