If you have access to Bill Miller, Frank Merrick, the FTAs, and virtually all of the FIRST staff wearing red ball caps, I think you can increase signal strength in many ways.

If in this case you equate 'signal strength' with finding someone who will listen then the question is how in someone's face can you get during a crisis (there were other issues at work). I don't know the particulars of the venue that day. I was at work in NYC watching over the Internet.
In this case I meant literal signal strength. Their ability to connect to the network over the any possible interference from other people would be improved by proximity to the field. Something you might be able to get by giving yourself a way to get close to it (say by talking to field personnel).
No matter what if they attempted to report it at all it would mean they tried it before that or saw someone else do it.
More importantly some of these attacks mirror the field troubles we noticed at Monty Madness off season the year before.
That was another example where I personally checked the D-Link AP and the robot and there were no problems.
Go out on the field and poof...
I did mention that in the topic about alternate control systems where you explained about the new logging features before the start of all the 2012 events.
I suspect this has been brewing for a while.
