The rules for the last couple of years have required the same bridge type: a D-Link DAP-1522, Rev. B. (Reference the Manual, Section 4.9.2, R55--ask a veteran teammate about that.) It's that white box with a black band on your last year's robot (or in your parts storage if you've already taken that robot apart--you REALLY want to keep the control system!)

That said, there is a possibility of a change, given that we're getting a new control system this year.
