I'm thinking environmental in the school, almost like something is updating via wifi and hogging your spectrum.

Good to hear that the robot is working better.

One thing I can think of is that many commercial access points used in places like schools have some sort of "threat management" technology, like this. To implement this so called "threat management", access points may contain a radio that can block, jam and/or attempt to force disconnects on any wifi network it is told to attack. Your school's access points may be programmed to do that to any network that they aren't told not to, which may include your robot. I suggest maybe talking to your network administrator at school to see if that is the case. Hope that helps!
