Even though the Smart Dashboard selected the desired autonomous mode I think it had to be selected after the laptop was connected to the robot through the competition system. It was quite error prone for the kids. I would like to use LV Driver Station to choose the autonomous mode.

Under the Drive tab in the driver station there is a blank drop down. Does anyone know how to access this drop dow?. Essentially setup strings and then read from it. I read a little bit, but it all seems to be describing LV to access it via "Auto List" and "Auto Selector"

Thanks.

Chris
We are using the SendableChooser and it works great with the SmartDashboard. We have 8 choices in our autonomous. The list is displayed on the SmartDashboard and we can click and select any one of them. Here is our code using it.
