IP Configuration for running multiple bots in LAB.
Ok, so the first time in TORC history we have 2 robots running in the lab, our 2011 Logomotion Bot, "I pick things up and put them down" and our breakaway bot the "kicker".

This is mainly due to the fact that until last year we only owned 1 crio.

So my question is what is the best practice solution to the running multiple bots in the lab environment.

What IP's should be used for the second bot and drivers stations, and does anyone have a list of where the ip's need to be updated?

Our team number is 2137, so right now we have the logo bot as 10.21.37.x and the kicker bot on 10.21.38.x.

I think I would like to have both bots on the same 10.21.37.x subnet so I can set up a DHCP server and have it hand out ip's in this subnet so any programming terminal could access either bot.

But not sure of all of the implications and where these need to be adjusted.

Currently both robots are programmed in labview, but we are looking at using java this year, and have started doing exercises in java. We are about to deploy a java bot and try to get basic functions working.

Thanks for the help.
