Good observation. There are six networks, each with a robot, DS, accessories like cameras, and ... an FMS NIC.

The FMS is omnipresent, on the field anyway, and the only way the robots or DSes can communicate would be by asking the FMS to pass a message. They can't directly communicate because nothing will route between the networks unless the FMS explicitly does it. Does that info make more sense?
