Field communication errors are almost exclusively the fault of the effected team at this point. There is no reason why the field couldn't theoretically run an additional 6 lines of communication with the current hardware, especially if those lines are not transmitting video data. Additionally, who's to say the field networking hardware couldn't be updated to more reliably support 6 additional robots.
