Re: How should our communication set up

I think the document about dlink setup also describes the event configuration.

The basics are ... the dlink is capable of being an access point or a bridge. Gaming adapters are essentially a fancy name for a bridge. For the shop, the intent was to use the dlink in access point mode with computers joining the robot network. For competitions, the same dlink will be switched to bridge mode, configured to bridge to the AP network that the field will host each time your team is on the field. It will also be encrypted so that only your robot can join. The event will have a radio programming kiosk that does this for you. The DS will be connected to the field via the ethernet cable at the end of the field.
