I also heard about the radio problems at Rutgers. We were fine all day Thursday, but kept cutting out in our first two matches on Friday. (We still won the second match by resetting the robot like crazy and getting a push from our ally....
) We thought that the radio was the problem but later found out that the light shorted to the frame of the bot. After fixing the wiring, we never cut out again. While your situation sounds a bit different from ours, you might want to double check the wiring before your ship to Florida, if you have time.
