Re: Einstein Field issues Handled correctly?

If you loose comms due to something on your robot unplugging then it is clearly your problem. Been there done that. BUT these field issues are embarrassing to FIRST or at least should be. I am not an engineer but if I remember right we are still on communications with Voyager 1 at something like a bazzillion miles from here and it is using a 5 watt transmitter. There has to be a better more robust more resilient way to make this work even if we have to go to a completely different control system.
I am not pointing fingers. I know it is a difficult situation to debug. It is just so frustrating for all involved. We were smacked by this in 2010 and it is still an issue. Curie had very few if any of these issues. What was so different there?
