How do both you and 503 actuate your canburglers? Does this difference in start time come mostly from the difference between the mechanisms, or does FMS initialization delay factor in?

We had four CIMs pulling ours down with a 28:1 reduction. We use Command Based Java and CAN Talons (anybody on Northville willing to comment on their control system?). We think that we are applying power down for 1 second as soon as the match starts, but clearly there is some delay. Match one was constant 80% power and match 2 was 100%. We're still trying to figure out if this is our code's fault, something to do with the field, or caused by a chain skipping teeth.
One of our mentors took some 60 fps video of it and claims that our travel time was 1 frame shorter once we started moving
