Also see R42B. The current draw incurred by turning your robot causes a voltage dip which reboots your radio. The regulated supply highlighted above is designed so that voltage dips of the magnitude you're seeing (I'm assuming that your bridge isn't connected to this power supply) won't power cycle the DAP.

Did you switch out your battery at any point? If you didn't, that would probably explain why the issue recurred after you returned to mecanum.

Ether, branch circuits seem to be implicitly defined in the manual as anything powered by a fused connection.
