What do you guys think?

I am guessing at the least they will be evaluating how long it takes for the bridge to connect to the field after the robot is turned on. Matches would be able to start sooner if it took less time to wait for the robots to connect.

Well a good portion of the problem this year also seemed to be boot up time of the router. It would take about 15 seconds longer than the cRIO to boot and then 15-20 more to connect to an ap. I really hope they resolve this or get different hardware.

Disclaimer: I'm guesstimating and also despise this years bridge for the above reasons. I miss the old Linksys black box bridges for sure.
