Re: Losing Communication

it may be in the way the bridges are set up in the competition
the bridge on the robot is a router, and the fms connects to it, (thats why there are 6 antennas on the wifi box on the field)
but in the shop the bridge is solely a wireless to ethernet bridge and you have a router
the fms bridges may only try to connect once, so if you lose communications it won't try to reconnect (fms)
