Check out this tutorial for last year's game. It should give you a jumpstart on vision tracking, camera interface and communication with cRIO.

Hello, to send data to the Smart Dashboard, I did the following.

First, I opened up the "Set_Variable" module, and I Set a variable (in my case COG_AREA) and the value to "[Now]". I also clicked the "Set Once" checkbox.

Next, I opened up the "Network Tables" and I put in the IP address of my cRio in the "Hostname" area. Then, I selected the variable I wanted to send.

Then, when I loaded up the robot and opened up the smart dashboard, the variable that I sent appeared on the smart dashboard.
