Ok, if you just want to use the info from the sensors, then you just need to use self.ultrasonic.getVoltage(). You don't have to go through SmartDashboard, but for getting the data of the ultrasonic (what the value is when the robot is 5 inches from the bin, for example), it would be wise to just put that value in SDB and write it down.
