We ended up changing our selected auto through a code re-upload before every match, although we'll be using a set of physical switches on the robot in the future.
What programming language do you use?

We had big issues with SmartDashboard last year when we were using LabVIEW.

We switched to Java this year and have had no issues with SmartDashboard or SendableChoosers (we use 6) through 2 competitions.
