We had a similar issue with using the dashboard to send variables for our auto routine. I spoke with the CSA as well as one of the FTAs about the issue and didn't get a resolution either. However we found under the variables tab if there was a diamond next to the variable then it wasn't being passed between the driver station and robot.
What we found was that the robot needs to connect to the field first then the driver station. As long as they connected in that order we were fine. Other way around and it wouldn't always link up. We would then need to close and reopen our driver station program and everything would be good. Our solution to keep matches flowing and not cause a delay after a brief conversation with one of the FTAs was to wait till we seen at least one of the 5 other robots connect and then connect.
