I am not sure of yash101's setup, but if UDP is used from robot to driver-station beware. It costs more bandwidth by nature... which shouldn't matter if it is a direct connection, but if the robot is receiving packets it will need a dedicate thread to listen to packets on startup, due to the VxWorks issue. This thread elaborates on that and also talks about a bug fix with the Network Tables.
