People hated these radio's because every time their robot rebooted on the field they blamed it on the bad radio. Sorry but it was probably something loose in your rats nest.
That said I didn't like the new radios power plugs as they were a bit looser then the dlinks. They were also more awkward to mount. Oh yea boot times
In all reality if they made the things boot faster and put us back to recycle rush we would all love them.
