We were reading the keyboard in the Dashboard program and sending a status flag back to the robot.

I suppose we should have used a simple Smart Dashboard write function, but we were in the mindset of using unconnected controls and didn't think it through.
Even if you did use a SD write function I am unsure if it would work... we tried the function and STILL had issues
