One thing I forgot: check all wiring from the battery to the motors and make sure there's no short. Check for metal shavings in/on the ports/boards/contacts of the motor controllers, roboRIO, and anything else that's somehow related to the motors. Make sure none of the ports are in contact with the frame or other metal. Just be sure there's no short anywhere.
