Re: Autonomous chooser not working when connected to the field

We also had issues with SmartDashboard during our time at the MAR Bridgewater-Raritan event. Our SmartDashboard just would not connect to the field and the match had to be played without our autonomous. From what I remember it wasn't just us either.

We decided that we didn't want to rely on SmartDashboard, so we switched to a wheel selector (Don't actually know what is called, will find out tomorrow). We wired it to three DIO ports and using binary we select our auto. That way when we set up the robot we just move the wheel to the right number and don't have to worry about it.
