It is possible even if circuits are electrically isolated from the frame before the match. If the outer shielding of the wire (or a solder joint, or wire crimp) becomes damaged, it is very possible for it to contact the robot chassis. With the rigors of Stronghold, this is entirely within the realm of possibility.
