Re: SmartDashboard Poll

To be clear, it wasn't us who thought that your settings weren't right. Greg came to our pits to check our camera settings as well. We were in the middle of trying to figure out how WE could have caused the weirdness we saw that match. The robot was very unresponsive, leading to over corrections in steering, and then it looked like the motor outputs got stuck for a couple seconds.
Our DS logging showed significant communications issues, but we don't know who was at fault... could be FMS as far as I know. We only had issues in that one match.

To add a little insight: we have a few dozen variables on the dashboard, but they only update when a specific joystick button is pressed. This allows us to have all the trouble-shooting tools we could need in the pit, while not overloading the network during a match. All we have running during a match is the camera feed.
