I don't know what the "VEX Bot delay" is that folks are talking about for sure, but let me take a stab at it.
OCCRA is using VEXnet for the first time this year. The VEXnet field control program automatically stops when it transitions from Autonomous to Operator Control. I assume this allows the referee's to score the autonomous event and then start the operator control portion after hitting the resume field in the VEXnet Field control program (on my laptop).
In OCCRA, we score real time. So, the "VEX Bot delay" is transition time it takes a student to see the resume field appear on the laptop, click to begin it with a mouse, and then the program to operate, enabling the operator control program.
For OCCRA, we would like to have the "resume" feature disabled to automatically enter operator control mode. Perhaps in the near future, IFI, can release this new "feature" in a VEXnet field control program update. BTW, I would also like the "resume" button that pops up to be a contrasting color to the laptop display to enhance visibility.
