From my experience at Waterbury week 1, the main delay was the driver station software sometimes not connecting to the field, which was blamed on mDNS. They had us enable/disable network adapters and restart the driver station application to get it to connect. The problem appeared to happen frequently when we tethered to the robot with the laptop while in queue, then unplugged and went straight to the field.
The problem also happens in reverse-going from field to tethered mode doesn't work with restarts, reset, and long delays.
When all worked well, match times weren't too bad because many teams turned on their robots before placing them out on the field.
