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.

I know that the signal at competition should be good, but was wondering why they don't put a safety feature like that on some of the radios used by r/c cars. And my car was just definately out of range of the transmitter. Also...it wasn't cheap at all.
