One time at our astronomy lab we were playing with a USB multi band radio. We hit a frequency that was some noise each 11.5 seconds. We never found out what it was but one said it might have been a weather radar sweep.

We are bathed in radio waves. With the right equipment you might be able to find if it is coming from an outside source. If changing channels on your wifi to the low one then the high one, if you still get this drop out and its external its got to be a fairly strong signal.

In our lab we have a second training robot with a program no more than just to drive it. A situation like this could prove to isolate it to one robot and then it would be software/hardware. Even with one robot, uploading the smallest program to drive the robot could implicate or eliminate software.

But what would be the most interesting is if both robots were to drop out at the same time.
