We've been having a lot of issues with driving also. The robot would respond fine, then stop responding or drive in a circle for a while then start working again.

One test I did was to make an all NXT/Lego bot driving on lego motors. It drove fine never obviously losing signal. It seemed very responsive. So the issue does not seem to be bluetooth.

Back to the FTC system. We tried replacing wires and the motor controller with not much luck. We have to motors installed but not the encoders. In examining the FTC Move Motors VI, it calls the encoders. When I replaced the VI with the original August VI that came on the cd's, the robot responds much much better. It also seemed to help by hanging the computer with the bluetooth dongle out over the field.
