This has been mentioned a few times. Can you elaborate on what the 30 second sequence is, and when it becomes a big part of the development cycle?

One mentor came by the booth and wasn't aware of the three button reboot, so they were power cycling the entire robot each time they deployed. Is this a similar situation? Or are you unable to simply reboot the controller? Or is your controller taking 30 seconds to reboot?
