Team 548 had the exact same problem at Great Lakes, our problems were solved when we tethered our robot and plugged the OI into the wall. I don't remember exactly but one of our electrical engineer explained the problem, something like there wasn't enough power to run the robot and the OI so the robot got first priority and the OI went below sufficient running voltage and kept reseting.
Hope this answerer the question if anyone wants a more detailed explanation let me know and I'll talk to the engineer.
