That is one of the three things I like very much about the OM5P-AN we used this season. (The other two are the highly helpful diagnostic lights and the near-bulletproof performance. The small size is nice, too.)

If your robot's wiring doesn't have problems that make your radio reboot during a match, the boot time isn't a factor during a match.

If the radio does lose power in the middle of a match, the boot time is certainly going to be annoying, but it is not the problem you need to be working on.
