You should place that bet. I saw a multitude of radio barrel connectors eject themselves vs defenses (especially the rock wall). After each occurrence I advised teams to tape the connectors in place and it resolved their problems. From the detailed notes I took as FTA, I'd be willing to wager that 75% of the "phantom" radio reboots were related to power on the radio end, not the VRM.
