I was indeed saying this. Their theory was that the 5v radios FIRST supplied were too underpowered to be reached by FMS, which I personally didn't believe. They ended up not switching to the old radios, because the problem was indeed fixed by RIT shutting down their wifi access points (there were like 20 of them in there). The volunteers did the best they could with what they had.
As for the battery thing, I'm aware that it was likely the cause of the issue. I just mentioned it because the robot didn't seem to power down, though I now realize the bridge probably died on its own.
And once again I mention that someone on our team mistakenly marked that battery as charged, and we didn't have time to check it before we queued.
