Any waiting (over a tenth of a sec) in auto is just a bad idea to me. I know it is easier to program but it is important that you get out of autonomous and into teleop ASAP after the teleop bit is set no matter when that happens or what your robot was doing. Instead of waiting on timers, check them periodically and if auto period ends before your timer reaches its value, go to teleop.

I can see where you might be coming from but what doesn't make the slightest bit of sense to me is that it started occurring after 50+ matches. It seems to me something like this should have surfaced much earlier and doesn't explain why during the system check auto worked fine and didn't get hung up. Sorry I'm not trying to be argumentative but nothing seems to fit all the symptoms that were displayed by what was a previously flawless working robot.
