Robot is stopping without welding, but has attempted to weld and it throws out a w1170 s-side short error. Not sure what this means.

Hard to say without more information on the robot, controller and power source.
For Tawers, the operating instructions manual says "Probable cause: Main welding control is not applied in two seconds after detecting the current (probable cause is that the voltage does not rise to the standard voltage.)"
For remedy, it says "Check wire connection on the secondary side of the welding power source if it is short-circuit"

If this happens occasionally then this error can be caused by the wire touching the work piece (or being extremely close to the work pice) at arc start.
It can also be caused by too rappid chain welding.
If it happens all the time and you can not weld anymore there is a short between the power source plus-output and ground or your power source is broken.
