|-> That's a good question. Maybe you should make a post at a higher level in the forum about this. I'd guess that it's okay, because you're still restricted as to what ports you can use and how the robot must be controlled, etc.
At the same time however, It's possible that the Field system is designed to disallow traffic from any IP address not 10.xx.yy.6 , in which case the second laptop (whichever one does not have the *.6) wouldn't be able to communicate, that's just me throwing a possibility out there. I've got no way to back that one up.
Edit:
You're not restricted to any number of laptops in the pit. You're only restricted on the playing field, anyone please correct me if I'm wrong there. I sure hope not.... we bought ourselves a ~$350 laptop with a nice big display to use for our DS/Dashboard
