I haven't personally seen anything like that... but I have heard stories of it happening. 330, at IRI, in 2002, had that in at least a couple of matches, something about the batteries being heat-damaged so they wouldn't hold a charge properly--then the controller didn't get enough power to detect the E-stop! (Two years later, backup batteries for the Robot Controller were introduced.)
