There is one Ethernet connection between the FMIS Server and the rest of the world. The commands have to go out serially.

I'm guessing the Cisco Wifi router has 3 channels, and 2 robots are assigned to each channel. Wifi Contention could delay the receipt of commands by a robot.

If the command is routed through the Driver Station, then there is minimal delay between when FMIS sends the Auto Start, and when your DS is first able to react.

How fast your robot can react to the DS commands depends upon how much wifi traffic there is on your signal. Also, the Cisco Router has one ethernet connection, so how fast your DS responds will determine where in the que is your command.
