Re: Fuse in cRIO is blown.
Our team managed to blow 2 cRIOs as well. For one of our cRIO the problem was actually debris, a small strand of cable got inside through the serial port. The second one is a mystery for us as well, however both seemed to blow when we powered the robot over the bump. So maybe the physically damaging may not be so absurd, but i doubt it as well. However after installing the KOP gakets we haven't blown a cRIO so maybe we just had stuff get into the cRIO while practicing. However maybe the victor connections were not tight and going over the bump caused the issue. We didnt check our victors as number 3 stated in posts above.

Just to share our story.
