This typically happens when teams are plugged in before the field has completed prestart (and is usually worse on practice day, when we're making substitutions. From being fieldside at two events now, I've found that restarting the driver station or changing the team number almost always solves the problem (when the field monitor shows a ethernet link and nothing else, or everything but roborio). If not, restarting the NI mDNS responder service does the rest. I'm seeing this at Chesapeake, and it's consistent with what I saw at NYC.

I think the faster turnaround time from the refs as they hit their groove (so the field can complete prestart before the next round of teams plugs in) is the biggest factor in these delays not being seen later in the competition.

I believe the Windsor field was previously at Montreal and North Bay.

The radio set and truck number are two different things. Truck #2 (lime green cases) has radio set #4.
