This is triage. Just do whatever works to get back on the field.
If they were dead on the field, I had drivers patch their drive joysticks directly into the Classmate and forget kickers and other controls just to get moving. That usually worked (except when that velcro pulled out that Classmate battery).

I came late when your robot failed on the field and got that yellow warning light, and stood behind you at the practice field after you'd swapped out the WGA and were retesting. You had things well in hand.

I must say your radio placement was indeed excellent and it was very easy to see the status lights when you were on the field.

There was one particular robot that had everything so buried that not a single status light could be seen, and they bolted their cover on so we couldn't get at anything. They sat dead for a few matches and there wasn't a thing we could do to help them.
