Network Tables doesn't really define what the outcome is supposed to be when you change datatypes for a given variable name. I wouldn't expect it to crash, but it is almost certainly a bug when you do this and the various network table implementations are free to return whatever value they feel like.

I still fail to see how the FMS could provoke this. It is more likely that the shiny field or heat of the match are contributing. Your logs show your lag and it is not bouncing around causing timing glitches.

If it was your job, or your programming test, to find this bug and explain the failure, what would you do?
