Mind you, some of us should be so lucky to have something go wrong on Einstein.

Thinking about it, powering through the Motor side shouldn't be different in principle from the power generation you get shoving a robot around. The H-bridge rectifies the power and it hits the control side after a couple diode drops. Which would put the control common a diode drop above common for the rest of the robot, which I imagine could cause weirdness. What I'm not sure of is what happens when you actually command the motor. On first glance, it seems like the control side should go up in smoke if you send a reverse command.
