Robot loses connection: Any clue why?

Hey all
We are working on an offseason robot, and we are pretty close to finishing. The only problem is that when we try to drive, the robot will lose connection. It is fine when we "drive" with the wheels off the ground, but when we set them on the ground, no connection. We are using victors and 4 motors (in two cimple boxes). The connection is only lost for a few seconds, and then the connection is regained. I was thinking it was the current draw that is doing something, but what?
Thanks,
Michael
