I don't think anyone is suggesting having a team miss a match due to NI problems - that's a different story. It seems to me, though (and maybe I'm mistaken), that many of the connection issues are not so much due to NI as they are to not having things properly set up - e.g. not having the cRio plugged in after tethering (something we've been guilty of a couple times...oops). Teams need to be prepared when they walk out on the field rather than make everyone else wait while they try to find the problem which is often something that should have been taken care of in the pits. Now, that being said, the issue becomes how do you determine if it's a problem due to NI or due to lack of preparedness by the team as both are going to result in that flashing blue/red light at your driver station?
