It's inevitable that many teams will have poor wiring every year. Many radios will reset on the field every year. It would seem to me to be a good idea for FIRST to consider reset time when choosing the next radio. Watching robots dead on the field doesn't help to make it loud.

I watched a practice match on Carver where both 1114, and 330 got disconnected from the field. It can happen to anyone!
