It would never be that high. Even serially, I bet it still sends all the enable packets within 1ms of each other. The 20ms polling loops happen on the DS, and the FMS does not depend on it. So the FMS wouldnt accumulate based on those. It would only matter to the DS at which point in the 20ms period it recieves the enable packet, and thats if its not interrupt based. So worst case is that 1 robot gets an enabled packet 19ms after another one.
Now its entirely possible something else in code is delaying more, but I cant see how the FMS would take 60+ms to send enable packets. If so, we would visually see it.
