Operator Interface power ISSUE

Well, our robot is done and driving and we walk out to the field and test it plug it in and start moving the robot via the radio and one of our wonderfully talented and extremely nimble students walk into the power cable ripping the power jack clear for our control panel. Quickly going over the damage we send a person to radioshack to find some parts to replace it. They feel as if they figured everything out about the power and we try it... bad news the robot power light is the only light that is lighting up. Everything works with the tether but thats annoying on a larger playingfield. Any ideas, thoughts, or anything?
