Sorry I can't make Philly, but I'd recommend you also purchase a different model USB hub as a backup.
I suspect both the USB power cable as top of my suspect list, and the USB hub itself a possibility. If you get a spare hub you can test with both a different cable and with a different hub.

If it happens to you on the field again, the first thing I want you to try is hit the F1 button on your Classmate.
Let me know if that helps at all. It'll make the Driver Station close and reopen all the joysticks (thanks Greg).
