Last year, the RC was typically still running off the backup battery when our robot returned to the pit after each match. Apparently being in communication with the field electronics sets the power-down timeout to something rather longer than the normal five seconds.
I don't remember that being the case this year, but it might just have been the drive team resetting the RC to shut it off after the main breaker was opened.
