Same for the wires between the breaker and the power distribution board.

Add the bouncing over defenses, robot on robot contact, and loose power connectors to the radio either at the barrel plug or at the pdp and you get a dead robot.

If you can pull wires out of the pdp wago connector they are too loose.
Our team ran into the same problem and we didn't even think to check the wires until the end of the regional.
