Update: We have tried just about all the suggestions so far. We wired the radio into our practice bot and are now 99% sure we have a defective radio. We left the radio completely alone and it would stay connected as long as we wanted. The original 80 second time was probably due to somebody that was holding the radio moving. If we tapped on the center of the front of the radio we could instantly cause a reboot state on the radio. The tap that caused the reboot takes less force than it takes to click my mouse button. Reboot time of the radio in case anybody is wondering is one minute twenty seven seconds.
We took the radio apart looking for loose connections and everything seemed good.
At this point we are dead ducks sitting in the water hoping Andymark ships our replacement in time for our week one competition.
