Start Robot -> add camera stream -> go into editable mode-> set the camera stream to "Switcher" -> close out smart dashboard and save -> power cycle robot -> start back up smart dashboard and the robot

When we enable robot we get the same error. The settings on rthr smartdashboard changed back to USB camera 0

I would try using a MJPEG stream view on the smart dashboard rather than the CameraServer viewer. With the stream viewer, you can point it to the stream url so that way it doesn't revert back to one of the webcams direct. In my case, the IP is http://roborio-3602-frc.local:1183/?action=stream. Might have to try different ports starting with 1180, but I think that would be a more elegant solution.
