When operating off of towers, we do fine never cutting out or losing connection. But when we connect to the towers, we cut out every 15 or so seconds and it takes 25-30 seconds to reconnect; we changed the 9-volt and that did help, but our robot light is showing solid red. Our head ref said to change our robot batteries, so we got 2 charged robot batteries and a brand new back up battery. The problem persisted. We tried new controllers, re-downloaded the firmware and everything. It is still going on and I was just seeing if anyone knew why! It doesn’t affect us very much except for the occasional disconnection, but it doesn’t happen to anyone else. We also got brand new vex nets and copied our program into a new competition template.
