Who did NOT have comm problems in Waterloo regional?

I think you've solved it. The bridge reboots when the voltage drops below 5.5 V; the cRIO reboots when it drops below 4.5 V. What could have happened was: a) the motors draw a lot of current even when not stalled, dropping voltage to 8 V, b) the motors stalled, c) the compressor/vacuum drew even more current, dropping voltage still further, and d) a CIM got damaged, lowering the battery's voltage below 5.5V and causing the bridge to reboot.
