Unfortunately this is a big misconception. In actuality the radios which are used on the robots and the field is one of the most stable parts of the control system. Most cases where people blame radio problems for robot malfunctions are actually other un-related issues, such as battery power, programming mistakes, and mechanical failures. I challenge everyone to actually look at their robots when a problem happens rather then just blaming it on the radios.

Specifically when dealing with the change over between autonomous and teleoperated modes make sure that your variables and states are set correctly.
