Wow. We had to glue our modules in to prevent this, as during testing our robot almost killed itself since it lost the analog module (it had no way of knowing it had lost its analog inputs, as they were within normal ranges). (And we don't go over violently). Maybe it had something to do with mounting the cRio sideways, so the modules face to the back of the robot instead of up?

As for the bridge, we had issues at Kettering, so we duct-taped the connections A LOT, and found that mounting it so the button is on the side instead of the top helped too.
