I think this will be really important due to the re-boot time of the new Driver Station. It takes about 10-12 seconds for each joysticks plugged in ( it takes over 30 seconds to boot up with 2 joysticks) . If it gets knocked off the driver mode and a restart is required, it will significantly slow down the regional flow, or worse yet, cause teams to be out of the match until their system reboots.

*note this is only the DS itself with joysticks and does not account for any time required to link with the field system, which may cause the time to be longer.
