I'll say it one last time. The Robot Controller does NOT turn itself off. It just physically can't run w/ less than 8 volts input. The onboard microprocessors just can't function with that small amount of voltages (it's actually much smaller but there's some transforming going on inside the controller I believe). This has nothing to do with the robot "spazzing out." It has everything to do with the robot controller not having enough voltage. I'm also pretty sure it's the robot controller and not the radio modem that doesn't have enough power. Given that the radio modem draws power from the robot controller, this isn't too far fetched (and if the robot controller is off, there is no signal between the robot and OI).
