Unhappy [OCCRA]: REALLY weird robot behavior

Ok, so the second match that we competed in (against chief and whoever they had blocking for them) I did a LOT of pushing. I put quite a bit of strain on the motors, because I was blocking easily half of the time. In the last quarter of the match, the bot just stopped dead, and wouldn't respond to any control input.

At first, I thought I had blown a fuse, but when we turned it off, took it back to the pit, and turned in on a again, everything worked fine, and we proceeded to run another match without any issues without touching anything. Fuses don't heal themselves, so it had to be something else.

Are there any circut breakers or something of the like in the bot's electrical innards? Has something similar ever happened to any other teams?
