Step zero: check the obvious power connections. Main breaker, PDP input, PDP fuses, wiring to roboRIO/VRM/D-Link. Plus the battery terminals.
If it works properly in the pit and when tethered on a practice field, I figure the robot itself is probably okay, and I start troubleshooting with the Driver Station logs. That will often point to an intermittent power connection or a communication issue. If power is okay, I look at the network settings. If they're good, I check for firewalls, antivirus scanners, software updaters, and other potentially disruptive background tasks.
Then I suppose I start following hunches instead of checklists.
