One of our lessons learned, which we will be implementing next year, is eliminating any reliance on the smart dashboard. We'll be putting our auto mode selection on the robot. We have been burned too many times by a malfunctioning smart dashboard on our control station computer. It always seems to happen at the worst possible time.

I hope to never again have this conversation:
"Why did the robot just sit there in auto?"
"The smart dashboard crashed just before the match, and we didn't have time to restart it."
