While it is possible for an excessive number of wifi networks to impact the connection to the robot, especially on 2.4 GHz, this will not cause CPU usage to rise on the robot. The charts tab will show whether the robot is losing comms, getting watchdogged, or running as prescribed. If you post a photo of the log file viewer, I can help point out the patterns.

kk, i was speaking on what the software sub team told me to watch for when driving the robot at our regional. they may have altered something.
