Re: Intermittent connection on field only

3193 was having very similar issues to what you were describing in Pittsburgh. For some reason, the staff was reluctant to let them program a new radio at the kiosk - they brought a brand new one with them from home (not sure of the firmware/rev level on that). Ultimately, the staff relented - they programmed the new radio at the kiosk and then had no issues with on-field robot comms the rest of the competition. The team was also making other repairs to the bot inside the base at the time that might have affected wiring connections, etc., so this might have been a coincidence.

It sounds like you've swapped radios many times already, though.
