I'm guessing that a cable came loose in the hard hit they took. This happened a little too often for my liking, on all different robots. Depending on the cable, this removes power to something like the cRIO, and the robot automatically disables.

Moral of the story: Make sure that all your cables are locked in tightly before the match.
