This makes it inconvenient for a programmer who wants to be able to work on both robots for development. It's also not trivial to access the robot and other network resources simultaneously.

A wireless router with its WAN port on the school network sounds like a good idea. My suggestion would be to set up the router's DHCP server to give out addresses in the 10.0.100.x range, since that will never interfere with the robot address scheme. The trickiest part of this would be configuring all the robots and driver station computers to connect to the single SSID.
