I don't know how consistent the top teams are at can burgling, but my gut sense is that this order of potential delay is of secondary or tertiary concern. However I'm happy to be corrected by members of those inspirational teams.
I was positing the question because I'm not technically knowledgeable about the FMS. But it appears that a delay of 20ms, particularly if it is cumulative across stations, will be significant in the canburglar race. Teams are already under 300ms and expect much, much faster. That delay could be a high % of the time.
