The problem is the radio. The C-RIO does not connect to the driver station at all. It's the D-link radio.

The C-RIO was introduced 4 years ago in 2009 to help in handling the vision processing that was introduced more heavily in 2009 than any other game, and to accommodate for the old IFI technology. The radio, on the other hand, wasn't chosen too well, and as a result left many teams without connectivity to the field.

tl;dr: It's the radio's fault, not the C-RIO.

Be careful making blanket assumptions and statements like that without any evidence supporting it. This is really a general statement... we can all speculate as much as we want but I am not aware of anyone (possibly even FIRST) that has hard data that points to one component or another. Anecdotal evidence seems to be pointing many in one way, but there are multitudes of layers to our complex control system in which any one of them could be the cause.
