We've been at this for the past week, so this is the first time that we actually saw it happen again.

On the screen of the NXT, it shows that the bluetooth was disconnected (the diamond beside the bluetooth symbol became a less than sign), but the teleop program was still running. The motors were still doing the last thing we told it to do before the bluetooth connection got lost -- AND THE ROBOT DID NOT SHUT DOWN THE MOTORS after the connection was lost.
The NXT screen was still showing "Teleop RUNNING"

I don't know if we can recreate this problem again or not as it was the first time we saw it in the past week of testing and practicing. The FMS showed that the robot was still connected on bluetooth.

This is a brand new NXT (out of an unopened box as we had replaced the original NXT thinking it might have been flaky), Robot C 1.46 with the latest firmware, running the competition templates.
This happened to pretty much every team at least once at the Ontario regional (IIRC). Specifically HiTechnic needs to work on this...
