A very simple experiment might provide some of the "touch and feel"
of teleoperation for those without access to a mechanism with
adjustable delays in the controls.
Try doing various things while wearing heavy gloves with a slow
strobe light for illumination. Better still, get one of the mechanical
claws that are used to remove merchandise from the top shelf of
department stores.
The strobe light causes a variable delay between the current state
of the world, and your information about it. This differs from
a constant delay, but should have some resemblance.
