I am interested in this ESD theory. It sounds very plausible.
I told him to have the sophomore turn off the robot that way he wouldn't get shocked. He did not say anything about getting shocked at the Colorado Regional. This may have been due to being on the floor with insulation over the ice arena.
We had one reboot during the Colorado Regional. It was in in our last qualification match. The problem was due to a loose battery connection.

I was the one of the CSAs in Colorado. Most of the issues with radios and roboRIOs were due to loose connections or components.

One robot had too much strain relief on the Ethernet cable and when the robot frame twisted, it pulled the RJ-45 all the way to one side and disconnected.

One robot had a battery cable move and unplug the Ethernet cable on the radio when going over a defense
