They came up with a workaround: they tether the robot in the queue and set the value then, leaving the robot on until the match is over.
One way you can tell if your robot got the message is to look at the tree control on the Variables tab of the LV dashboard. If the variables have a diamond glyph next to them, then the variable is only known about on the dashboard. If there is no diamond glyph, then the server (your robot) is up to date and your correct auto should run.
