The staff made good engineering tradeoffs this year on radio features.
I'm with you on the bet. Once we tightened the connections on the 120A circuit, our radio disconnects went away.

I'd still like to see quicker network connections, both for demos and competition. The long cycle time on initial connection made troubleshooting far more time consuming than it should have been.
