Add feature where the motor rpm is displayed in Shuffleboard (using NetworkTables/SmartDashboard) #4

Check with Mark Newman for some assistance with getting the Shuffleboard/SmartDashboard working. Also look at robot.py example code SmartDashboard for the 5 or 6 lines of code that you can use to do this. https://robotpy.readthedocs.io/projects/pynetworktables/en/stable/examples.html#robot-example

  1. Import the network tables library (at the top)
  2. Create the smart dashboard object in robotInit
  3. In teleop init push the RPM (or just the encoder value if you want) into the appropriate variable.

Shuffleboard is not currently updated to 2020 robotpy, so we might want to wait on this one for at least until after finals.

Understood. We can run a simple SmartDashboard client on just about anything, even if we don't have shuffleboard. We need to cultivate this expertise, though.
