Thank you for the detailed explanation. I feel your pain on the flaky Dashboard readings. We too were struck with this bug in Week One - several times the autonomous just didn't run at all, even though the drivers swore it was selected on the SmartDashboard. It seems there may be a timing issue, whereby you have to wait until your DS is connected to the field before you make any Dashboard selections. We're just hoping it gets figured out before our next event in Week Five.
