Seems it logged all of the spurious commands it received, and when it woke up it executed them all. Last one told it to plow into the spoilboard and drag a foot along the Y. Before I could react and stop it it ruined my material and broke the bit.
Went into instant shop rage and threw the remote on the floor, I'm still finding pieces of it a year later. True, it was technically all my fault, but I decided the drawbacks of wireless outweigh the convenience and never tried it again. Props to those who find it useful, just be careful is all I can say.
