Yea, it COULD have been our controller resetting... although
both us and our ally lost communication . Also, i have noticed that when the RC resets, it takes less then a second to initialize. The OI takes like 5 sec to initialize, but that was plugged into the competition port... I highly doubt it was low voltage, as the battery was just charged, and during our first regional, we went all 3 practice matches on the same battery before we got low enough to reset. Our drive wheels arnt treaded, and they spin when the robot is pushing on the ramp, which was where we died, so i highly doubt they were stalled.
In the semifinals, the robot was dead for a heck of a lot longer then 10 sec... more like longer then a minute. Like i said, it started working again without getting hit by anything, and i couldnt find any loose wires afterwards.
ignore these links... i need them for a research paper in english and i am currently at school
