Re: FMS enabling sequence?

We have some evidence of FMS enabling sequence timing issues. At msc, in playoffs, 548 and our partner 1711 ran very similar autonomous modes (i.e. cheesecake). We both run java, and used talons srx connected by can.

The troubling issue is that 548 consistently started moving 10-30 ms before 1711. 548 was always red 1, and 1711 was red 3.

We are working with 1711 to look into DS logs to find out if there was some delay recorded there.

Can anything be done about this? As far as specific details FMS is a black box to us teams.

Hopefully there is a Snowden among the FMS developers that will spill the beans and let the community suggest improvements.
