Actually, in LA the most common reasons for "loosing coom" were in no particular order:
Bad battery
Bad battery connection
loose radio power connection
loose cRio power connection
touchy Classmate ethernet connection (on Classmate side)
radio reset due to shock
one robot got turned off when a ball landed on the main breaker (my favorite)
we also had numerous teams forget to plug their radio back in after programming changes, but those were caught and corrected before match start
none of these have much to do with the field control system
