As a request from an FTA, if a lockup occurs, it helps to diagnose the robot if the NXT is visible and to turn it off if the power switch is easily reachable. It hurts when I have let a robot death spiral cause the power switch is under the robot lifter or NXT.

All, there is now an excellent article on the FTC Team Resources page on NXT lock ups. It covers the issue and how to resolve it. We purchased the item mentioned in the article and have had no lock ups.
