Before I start, I'd just like to tell you that generally it is frowned upon to create a user with the name "helpme". Forums are about helping others too, so yeah!

Anyway, we need to know a bit more about your robot. Are you supplying the bridge with power from the 12 volt converter?

What is defined at "dropping out"? Does the radio reset and do a full reboot (like you just turned on the robot)? Or does it just drop out for a few seconds?

This may seem unrelated, but are you using a 2CAN on your robot? We were, and it was causing us to loose communications with the robot, sometimes for a moment, sometimes indefinitely.

when we turn on the robot the wireless works but when we move the bridge manipulator/ ball elevevator the connections stops and we have to reconnect from the driverstation.

no we have pwm.

also we just bout a new d-link.
