I deal with a lot of robots each year (about 240 this year after this weekend (though probably only 160 unique teams), and I have not seen this on the battery before that I can recall. That obviously doesn't mean it never happens, but I would say it is not that frequent.
I do/did see frequently where leads get mixed up on motor controllers for the inputs. This was much more prevalent with the old victors/talons than the new ones. This would burn out certain controllers. Most often this occurred during a rushed add or wiring job. One team had burned up the current and spare before having me take a look at their robot.
