One of 166's team members made a simple launcher for the SmartDashboard, and he's posting it now.

Thanks for the link to the launcher, we'll give that a try tonight. It will be so nice to get a simple dashboard without all the clusters and formatting and other associated claptrap. We are still amateurs at our coding, so just being able to pop up the variables we are looking for is going to be so handy for debugging.
We were having to squeeze them all into the dsLCD area of the Driverstation which is a big pain.
