Research direction

Start at RobotController.getTeamNumber() and inspect the current hostname-based lookup. Verify how /etc/team_number.txt is read on SystemCore, then confirm the method returns the team number from that file instead of 0.

Description

Not Implemented Yet WPILib

This is because the current implementation depends on the hostname, which appears to always be robot on SystemCore. Instead, the team number can be read from /etc/team_number.txt, assuming that's the source of truth.
