Re: Using the school's Network as the Bridge
Just an update on how it is goin (had some delays cause I had to prep everything for anoffseason event).

The Internet security server at my school has posed some difficulties (we are setup with WPA2-Enterprise) and I (and the school teachers) are not sure that it is possible to setup a wirelessly bridged connection.

How it currently works (on life support), I have it as follows (dashed for wifi, line for wired):
MyLaptop- - - - - -SchoolsNetwork- - - - - -SecondLaptop------RobotRouter------cRIO

So I have to have a SecondLaptop on the robot to logon to the SchoolsNetwork (the SecondLaptop has its wifi and wired connection bridged). Also the RobotRouter doesn't really serve a purpose in this scenario unless I'm using it to connect the camera too.

But our camera is dead so I currently plan have a USB Webcam connected to the SecondLaptop and use some online videochat system (if I manage to bridge the RobotRouter to the SchoolsNetwork I have an alternate way which would work).
