It seemed to occur when we accidentally drove our lift down on top of another tote, tipping the robot up and drawing a lot of current. After adjusting driver performance to eliminate the chance of that, we never lost an abnormal amount of packets. It was then tested while tethered in queuing, and we could cause packet loss by stalling our lift motor. We still aren't sure why this is causing packet loss.

We had the same thing happen in our first semi-final match causing us to drop a container and wrecking our elevator when the arm came crashing down on top of it. It was interesting that they chose to replay 2 of the quarterfinal matches but not ours. Fortuneatly for us, we were able to do a quick repair and score enough points in our next 2 matches to get to the finals.
