The other approach is to use network tables or smart dashboard variables. This is somewhat more flexible, but not necessarily better.

Do I infer from this that at least one DS packet is sent to the robot at the beginning of Autonomous?
We had a problem last year when our autonomous code was looking for a motor speed from the DS via an SD call. In testing, autonomous worked fine. On the field, it never did anything.
Maybe I just answered my own question. Does the DS data get sent in autonomous, while the SD data is not?
