Made me look.

Get Competition Mode waits for a DS Occurrence, which I assume to be the arrival of a new packet. It's got a drop-dead timer of 1 second associated with it, i.e., no packet = mode goes to finish and terminates the user program.
If this happened and communication was subsequently restored, we'd see the "No robot code" red light appear on the DS. The only recovery would be to reboot the robot.
