I found that the TCP connection (contains all the network variables) does not open for some reason with the dashboard code if the robot has not been started up first and the FMS hasn't established a connection yet, it matters the boot order of the robot code and the FMS connection. I found that if you wait on opening the dashboard (logging into driver on the classmate PC if you have it as start-up), everything works fine. I created indicators that indicate when the dashboard establishes connection with the robot by checking to see if a code revision was written to a network variable by the robot, this or checking your variables tab will tell you if you have connected.
