I think your RC car was operating on static. I've seen cheaply made rc cars jerk around when the transmitter isn't working...
You shouldn't have any problems with reception at competition; the signal is very strong and if it isn't, everyone's robots would be jerking around. That would be FIRST's fault, not yours. What were you doing when it dropped out? I haven't seen the radio drop out at all when we were doing anything.
