Oh really?

I believe this would be the same wireless that YOUR robot is operating on. Any attempts to interfere with it during one of your matches will not only knock out your bot, but it would be detected as a field fault and be a replayed match. Anyways, there is nothing interfering with the connection between the classmate and the FMS, so the auto-disable will be over-ridden by the field sending enable commands to the DS, re-activating the bot as soon as the connection is established again

First of all, un-GP

Second, most likely the FMS would catch it. The FTP connections to the cRIO would probably make it into the logs. Also, for anything to take effect a reboot is required, which I'm sure is noticed.
