The signal delay to flip the target is essentially the same as the signal delay for the FMS to tell your robot to start Autonomous Mode. It is negligible.

I'm told that the mechanical system reacts "very quickly", faster than an eyeblink. That isn't much of a quantitative answer, but it should be better than nothing.
