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.

My team opted for a hardware solution as we have heard a few horror stories like this before.
We installed this on our robot:

Using the analog input we can read 12 discrete positions which we are using to select our auto mode. There's no way to specify parameters as in a Dashboard solution but so far we have managed without. We could always install more switches
