Re: "No Comms"
"No Comms" is not a DS problem - it's a failure of the link between the robot and the field wireless access point. Unless ALL of the robots lose their links in a match, the problem lies within the robot.
Here are some likely causes of the problem: unplugged or intermittent power/ethernet connections, burying the adapter in the robot, problem with the wireless adapter +12V supply from the PD module and mounting the wireless adapter such that the security button gets pushed as the robot is bumped.]
If you momentary lose the wireless adapter, it can take up to 45 sec for the robot to get synch'd with the field - very painful!

Reason: emphasis on the wireless power supply
