What precisely did you mean by "We also checked the frame, and discovered a short there."?

The cases for the cRIO and Axis camera are internally connected to their power supply's ground connections. As a result, if you DON'T intentionally isolate those modules from your robot's frame, your frame will be directly tied to battery ground. When this happens, it becomes VERY easy for a short to the chassis to occur and ruin your day (and your PD and ...).

As the rules and inspection checklist require, it's not just a good idea to "float" your robot chassis, it's a requirement. Everyone should be using the newly-released inspection checklist over the next 2 days before shipping your robot.
