We've fortunately found these sorts of problems in practice, especially last year crossing defenses. This year, the two hardest cases will be collisions between robots and falling off the rope. There were several times last year I saw robots leave batteries on the field, and shut down when the Andersons pulled apart. Plus some more on video.
While not the same level of
safety hazard, also ensure that your battery connections at the terminals, through the Andersons, main breaker contacts, to the PDP, and all the crimps are tight. A flicker there will leave you sitting still for most of a match.
