Discovered this useful windows batch command and thought I'd share.
netsh int ip set address "wireless network connection" static 10.37.56.25 255.0.0.0
Change the 10.37.56.25 to your appropriate team number (If you're on team 1234, you'd have 10.12.34.25).
Save it as a batch file, run it as administrator, and now your drive laptop is set up for connecting to the robot! If anyone knows the appropriate command to set it back to obtaining an IP address automatically, please share
Good luck at the competitions!
