We must disable/enable the network adapter, restart the driver station software, and sometimes even restart the robot.

I've also noticed similar things happening to our alliance partners, where their laptops don't connect to the field, and they have to restart things or try connecting and disconnecting again and again to connect to the field.

The field seems to always connect to the robots in the end, but this year, it seems to take longer on average for all teams to get full communications.
Yes, at Bayou we had a number of matches delayed for FMS connect issues, two our team, three or four others. I did not know whether they were robot or driver station end.
