[FTC]: Communication help needed

[sprocketman92]

We are beginning to get very worried. We were having communication problems when trying to test our robot. We would be able to connect to the robot drive it for a few seconds then connection with the nxt was lost. So we tried to plug the nxt directly to the computer and the same thing happened (ruling out samantha problems). Then a student said that there was a reset button the the nxt...... well it wiped it clean and wouldnt stop clicking. We diagnosed that and redownloaded the firmware. Which put the nxt back to what we think is orginal software. However we have the same problem as before we cannot connect to practice driving and there is no samostat on the nxt. I am becoming very concerned that we have really messed up. We are in dire need of any advice
