We had a few radio problems on Friday of the Canadian Regional. During our first match of the day, on three separate occasions we lost communication with the robot. Luckily, we only lost the connection for a few seconds and were still able to cap and hang.
After setting up the controls for our second match we noticed that the No Data/Radio red LED was flickering on and off. So as Blair was doing his introductions, I ran over to the Innovation First rep to report the problem. He supplied us with a temporary radio, and the problem was solved.
My advice to any teams who notice these types of radio problems is to go straight to Innovation First. Their staff is extremely knowledgable and helpful. They will go to great lengths to solve your problem. Also, make sure you check all of your connections. Many teams at the Canadian Regional reported radio problems, which ended up to be caused by loose connections. (Our team included)
