Re: [FRC Blog] Radio Silence
The OpenMesh radios fixed many connections issues on the field. I hope the FRC-specific firmware can pass the FCC regulations. The radios are part of the reason there are no more "x-mas trees" with FMS. They also actually perform QoS versus the D-links and can enforce bandwidth caps.

If your robot repeatedly reset on the field, it may have been the power connection to the radio or a brownout condition. I watched several teams drop after an impact of some sort. A more resilient connector would be great.
