Re: Serious bug identified in SmartDashboard/NetworkTables -- robot hangs

We were aware of this bug and attempted to avoid the situation by always power cycling before placing the robot on the field. I am nearly certain we reproduced this bug on the practice field. We had a faulty ethernet cable. During robot power on the connection was intermittent. The dashboard never came to life. We ended up having to hard power cycle the robot and restart the dashboard. Restarting the dashboard may not have been necessary. But we did them in tandem and the dashboard came back to life. Minutes after this we applied the patch and had no NT problems the rest of the regional.
