It's a very good hunch. The first year of the cRIO control system, there were a few teams at the DC Regional that consistently lost communication with the field as soon as they tried moving. I worked with one team that had their WGA mounted RIGHT next to a speed controller, and relocating it solved the problem for their last few matches. I'm told that another team heard about the problem and fixed it the same way.
You're probably losing communication briefly whenever that Jaguar is told to activate the motor, resulting in the system watchdog triggering.
