I know this has been suggested already, but I think the right place to pose questions is directly to the Q&A:

You need to have the team leader account to post there, but I am sure that FIRST will be more than receptive to answer all the questions posed here. If people do get an answer to some of the common questions, can they please post them here as well?
The main questions that seem to need answering is:
How long must the contacts be connected for FMS to trigger / what other technical constraints of the triggering system should be kept in mind by the teams?
I do not have an account for this, otherwise I would pose the question myself. I do think teams have full right to ask these questions though.
