I agree on the PD board - it is hard to see how it could be at fault.

I think the FMS or some OS or library bug is at fault. But in the interest of thoroughness - the link on the practice field was much much shorter. And I know when we used the practice field we setup in the exact same orientation every time (of course not the case on the field). This leads me to think it worth it to move the robot's radio higher leaving it relatively unobstructed by metal plates or motors.
