Re: Can somebody give me a run-down on NetworkTables connections?

If I understand the question correctly, the robot is treated as the server and everything else (programming laptops, driver station, onboard imaging processors) are called clients. The primary difference is that the server unions all of the client variables with its own and assigning Field IDs for various names of variables. Also, race conditions let the server win, and clients do not talk to each other but to the server. The implementation of client and server is actually quite similar otherwise.
