We were having this same problem A LOT at the Wisconsin regional. We were about to win the entire regional when our middle zone bot lost communications in the last two matches. (we won the first match of the final round 10-4). From what I saw almost everyone had these problems all day. I am trying to consolidate the issue so we don't have it again.

Before every match we:
log out and log in on the class mate
DO NOT close the lid on the class mate
make sure everyone's class mate wireless is off
check all Ethernet cables are plugged in
check for FMS connection and voltage before we give the judges the ok

Twice during our matches we lost connection in the middle of the match
Our alliance in the final rounds lost communications twice in a row AFTER autonomous mode. The judges told us it was NOT the field or FMS, it was the team's robot. Well then what is it? The bridge? Let me know if any of you have had this issue and what solved it. It sounds like people are replacing their wireless bridges and that solves the problem.


Thanks!
