I could be wrong on that point, though. An identical radio in bridge mode shouldn't cause problems unless it's hooked up to something with a conflicting IP or something. At any rate, I'm really doubtful on that one. It just seems so unlikely that someone would go to that trouble. Incompetence seems unlikely as well, as who would accidentally program a radio with the wrong number and then leave it plugged in? Still, the self-serve WPA kiosk is definitely a gaping security hole in the system. I wouldn't advocate going back to the bad old days of handing out and programming WPA keys by hand, but handing out a team specific password for the kiosk would be a good idea.
Lastly, when you come to Lone Star, would you consider leaving everything as is for a practice match? I'm pretty sure Lone Star isn't getting the Bayou truck, so it'd be a pretty compelling data point if your robot, as is, does/doesn't work on the Lone Star field.

I'm doubtful on it as well. We're planning on leaving everything the same until we know what we're doing. We're not going to unbag it until we know if we're not going to Lone Star.
I just spoke with Greg on the phone for a nearly an hour. I sent him the email I sent above, and talked with him about all what was going on.
He doesn't have much to say yet. He is not sure what is causing the packet loss right before autonomous, or the short chunks of data that are going missing, as it's not enough time to mean a power problem. He said a bad ethernet problem could cause it. I don't believe that to be our case as we did pretty extensive testing to be sure that we were electrically good.
