I don't believe Chris is referring to the red button physically being pressed. The only protection from that is the location of the breaker.

Some breakers either have or develop a sensitivity to vibration/impacts. To identify if this is the case, turn on the robot and begin tapping on the breaker housing particularly around the actuation lever including gently tapping the red button. If you are able to cause the lights on the robot to flicker you may have a sensitive breaker. Everybody's definition of lightly is a little different, especially if you've never seen this problem before, so you may want to ask a team around you if you can try it on their 'bot as a reference.
