The matches seem to be consistently 2 to 3 seconds long. I have videos on my cell phone, which I can't time accurately enough to know if it's exactly 2.8 each time. Our robot had a mode to shut everything off after 2:15, to help with driver practice, and we noticed it shutting off before other robots at our event when we accidently enabled this mode during a competition match.

Personally, I believe that this 'issue' isn't something to get upset at, but if the FMS can't time 135 seconds accurate to more than 2.8 seconds, there is something very wrong with how it's written. The hardware is more than capable of doing it more accurately, and it's not impossible to write software that will be more accurate (see cheesy arena).
