[FVC]: Help - possessed robot!!!

Our robot has started acting quite strange. Motors will reverse direction on their own, and sometimes the motors are running full speed even after the operator shows us that his hands are off the controls.

Has this happened to anyone before? Any suggestions? I am going to check for shorts (but it doesn't only happen with one single motor). Has anyone had any EMI problems with the motors and nearby PWM cables?

Thanks for any suggestions!
