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
Assuming your goal was to give you an advantage, and not just wreck the event. OR you weren't just trying to ruin a different team's score. Also, you can often do targeted attacks this way since they are all on a different VLAN and use different keys. The re-sync with the FMS takes a while, which would put the bot out of service for up to minutes.

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.
Very un-GP, however nefarious characters exist everywhere. You would think FTP connections to the cRIO would make the logs, however someone would have to be watching. AND your goal could be to attack for their NEXT match, so the reboot when they started next match would take effect.
