You need to wait for the radio to boot and the field to be configured for your team #. To emulate this in the pit, turn on the robot with the DS unplugged, wait for your camera and cRIO to boot, then connect the DS and run in practice mode.

Yeah, we spent an hour running it in practice mode, and we'd run it through practice mode several times previously. We forcibly sent more network table updates (we have two things; vision code, and then we use network tables to send that target info up to a smart dashboard Java plugin). We built fake vision targets to see if we could swamp the vision processing code (that was what got us able to trip over to 0.12, and get a motor safety to fire...once). We desperately tried to get it to fail off the field and couldn't :-(.
