Battery connected backwards to robot

So in the rush to get ready for SVR this week, I wired the leads on one of our batteries backwards. I didn't notice and no one else noticed, so when we plugged it in apparently our breaker made a clicking noise and may have tripped at some point. Regardless, it was left plugged in backwards and on for roughly 10 seconds.

The bad part - the damage. Apparently our VRM is shot, our PCM may be nonfunctional, and our PDP only supplies power to certain rails. Is this a problem that someone else has ran into and had to fix? Or are we just out of luck?

Cheers,
Devin Ardeshna (FRC Team 8)
