Robot preferences help

[ahartnet]

Thanks for the suggestions! I like putting it into the disabledInit() function.

Still having some problems though.

public class Robot extends IterativeRobot {
	public static double speed;
	Preferences prefs;
        //Other stuff
}
    public void disabledInit(){

    	speed = prefs.getDouble("speed", .5);
    	
    }

And then later on in a different class

     value = Robot.speed;

However we're having issues where we're getting an unhandled exception for a null pointer in the disabledInit function, so the driver station is listing as "no robot code"

Any suggestions?
