I wanted to be at Champs this year so I could talk to some of the alpha testing teams in person, but college work prevented me.

Even considering, a ~25 seconds from boot to code running is very nice and better than what we have now. I have hope the roboRIO firmware will reduce this time even further. (Keeping my fingers crossed for user code in user space)

During one match our power wire for our crio(8 slot) became loose. It rebooted several times because the wire kept making and breaking contact. I noticed that it was somewhere around 20-30 seconds reboot time. 25 seconds isn't really an improvement, so I hope that time was strongly influenced by the fact that the test was done using ported firmware.
