Before, I had only seen it on our comepetition robot while connected to the FMS, and I thought it was related to the clock issue mentioned earlier, but yesterday it happened twice on the practice bot, which has a diffferent roborio and NavX board. I would say it happens about 1 in every 10-12 robot starts.

I haven't tried I2C or UART, but we may switch protocols for Lone Star and see what happens.

This is precisely what happens for us.
I don't think it's a brownout issue, because it happens with a fresh battery upon booting up.
