Something I have seen with this is a
hesitation to press the space bar since it requires the robot and driver station to be rebooted to recover. This is especially true at competition when people are in competition mode. So instead I promote the use of the Enter key which disables the robot without requiring a reboot. This way as soon as there is
any doubt on what the robot doing it is pressed without hesitation. It also becomes commonly used when normally disabling the robot, so instead of fumbling to figure out which button to press, its an immediate reaction.
