Back then, in years like 2006 and 2007, I was under the impression that you couldn't grab the controls until teleop started, rather than when autonomous ended. I remember watching a video of Einstein 2006, with all the drivers waiting to see who won autonomous ready to grab their controls. I could be way off on this because I'm only going off of match videos and not my own experiences....

I think the "cross the line as soon as auton is over" thing started by 2009 - in 2009, there was no delay, because human players could keep scoring all they wanted, and a delay would just give human players free points. Ever since it has definitely been "jump at 0 seconds", not "jump when teleop starts".
