Connection Problem?

[Orion.DeYoe]

Turning testing we encountered a problem where the communications kept getting dropped between the robot and our driver station computer. The radio is in 2.4 mode connected directly to the laptop via wifi (i.e. not using a router).
After the robot disconnected it would reconnect after 30-60 seconds. We never lost the wifi "network" on the computer as far as I could tell.

We originally thought that the radio might have been browning out however we confirmed that the radio never loses power. We watched the lights on the radio as well as observed the network on the laptop. The issue seems to be between the rio and the radio. We tried swapping the cables.

It started doing it when we were driving over the scoring platform (with a lot of bumping around) so we thought that maybe something was coming loose. However after 4-8 lost connections it didn't seem to matter how much the robot was bumping around.

Normally I would assume that it's some software, firmware, or hardware issue on our end. However I have spoken to one other team who reported the same issue with no solution as of yet.

Is this behavior anyone else has noticed? Are there any proposed solutions? Might this require an email to FIRST?
