Access the Auto List on Driver Station in Java

However, one major difference between your code and ours is that we only "newing" an auto strategy when it is selected whereas you are newing all your strategies (commands) and added them to the chooser. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it but I am just trying to figure out if the problem lies in the command based code. Again, I am not familiar with command-based code, but depends on what failure you were seeing, you may want to look at it from a different angle.

I appreciate the help thinking through this.

When the game was activated I think it just ran the default of Do Nothing even one of the Low Bar options was selected. No errors that I know of. The one time we did get it to work I was at the driver station and i toggled the buttons back and forth after the robot was connected to the system. After a few failures we just hard coded the one choice.

During practicing at our school the buttons seemed to work fine.

I will look into newing all of the commands.
