A more likely incident involves a single point shorting - for example, a wire coming loose and contacting the frame. If you are in compliance, this won't cause any damage and you can fix it after the match.

If your frame is not isolated, this single point fault will instead become a match deciding failure.

For example, assume you grounded the frame through the cRIO and the stray wire is positive. Your battery is now shorted through the cRIO frame, which will force the PD to cut power to the cRIO. Instead of having a single wire to fix at the end of the match, you will also need to fix having a trailer full of orbit balls.

If you manage to short through the camera, it is possible that you will permanently damage the PD and/or the camera.

Check early, check often.
