The original "blue" router is a Linksys WRT610N Router that came in the 2009 KOP and was used during the 2009 and 2010 seasons are part of the driver station.

Yes, this is doable. Like Alan said, you need two driver stations each with their proper sets of IPs. Actually, since you said that both of your robots have the 2011 dlink Access Point on them, why don't you just set them both to "AP Mode" and have them broadcast networks with different SSIDs (you change this as part of the radio configuration process). Then, you have each driverstation computer wirelessly connect to the network broadcast by the robot with the corresponding set of IPs and you won't have to worry about any network conflicts.
