You can certainly do what you are suggesting. When you do the "unflatten" operation in the Dashboard, you need to show it an example of the data type you want it to create. That means you need either a bundle constant that matches the arrangement of the bundle you created in the robot project, or a typedef that you can share between the robot and dashboard projects so the robot code can do a bundle by name instead of just bundling raw data.
