This may have been caused by our Ethernet cable that connects to the radio loosening to the point that it was no longer transmitting data to the cRIO.
After Finals Match 1 on Newton we took the robot out to be examined. we noticed that the Ethernet cable was slightly loose, so we re-zip tied it to the radio. After that we ran fine in Finals Match 2. I'm not saying that this was 100% the reason why we lost control, but it does appear to be so, at least to me.
I'm leaving this here as a reminder to all teams, rookies to veterans, to double check EVERYTHING before going onto the field, you never know what could go wrong.
