Robot looses comms when hit/jolted
Our robot, for the last 2 or 3 years, seems to loose connection whenever its hit pretty hard by another robot. It was never that big of a deal, but today we got our bot driving and attempted the bump. It did make it over, but we lost communication when it got to the other side.

The only thing I can think of is something inside the cRIO could be damaged, seeing as this happens year after year. Or possibly the D-link, but I somewhat doubt that.

Anyone have this happen, or any ideas?
