A thought from the peanut gallery:

An intermittent power connection could cause a FTC robot to reset. I've seen a lot of students swinging their batteries by the cables. Also, I have had issues with FRC backup batteries having intermittent connections at the Molex connector.

I would check the suspect robot by gently pulling and shaking the power wires.
