Holy crap. I didn't know about that.... I think that's part of the source of the problems.
I'm pretty sure FMS sticks each robot on a different 5GHz channel, and actively manages them, in a way that *may* not be compatible with DFS.
If the consumer grade d-link detects 5GHz radar stuff in its channel, and decides to try to jump onto another channel and FMS doesn't play nice on that decision guess what? boom, robot dead.
Would also explain why Red 2 in particular was having issues. Guessing the closest radar antenna was on the frequency that Red 2 was arbitrarily assigned by FMS.
