On careful reading, the power was sent in to the power outleads of an H Bridge, which is a tough piece of electronics, and in the end nothing was damaged- the shutdown was unrelated. If it had been sent to the data line of the motor controller, it probably would have poofed something. We cant rule out that there were different connector types, but the two mistaken connectors were correctly assigned the same type.
