Anderson cables disconnecting even momentarily will reboot the robot.
cRIO power cables coming undone
Radio power cable getting knocked out from the radio. We lost com twice at an event, taped the radio power cable in, and were fine the rest of the event.

Zip-tie your anderson connectors together, check you cRIO power, and tape down your radio power cable. These are the three problems we had and our three solutions.
