I also noticed that it seemed that the robots were slow to enable for tele-op.
I believe that this was to allow for boulders to be properly scored as auto (10 points for a high goal, 5 points for a low goal) vs tele-op scores (5 points for a high goal, 2 points for a low goal). This delay I believe was added to allow the automatic sensor controlled system to properly distinguish between late auto scores and early tele-op scores.

This happened in one match where as driver, the height of the portcullis (or possibly drawbridge) perfectly blocked my (driver's) view of the clock. (As driver I always depended on watching the clock on the middle of the opposite drivers station for when to "step forward and take the controls".) Also in this match, the sounds system did not work, such that I did not realize when auto ended/tele-op started, and such, the opposing alliance had a 4-ish second head start!
