I wasn't directly involved with both problems, but this is what I understand/think.

1) We would lose comm from the autonomous to tele switch. We finally just tried a clean code that we knew worked and it seemed to clear it up. I believe there was just some underlying thing in out LabView code that was off and causing errors.

2) Randomly lose comm during a match. We did not hook the receiver to a regulated 12 volt source. Once and a while we might drop below 12 volts, then we would instantly lose comm and not be able to get it back.

I believe it was mostly problem 1 we had at Traverse City. Then the few times we would drive I think problem 2 would sometimes take effect and stop us during the match. Sorry, was on a time constraint and couldnt type it in the last post.
