This is much better than statically assigned addresses because you don't have to worry about manually changing the Robrio, drive laptop, and/or camera back and forth between static and dynamic address assignment when you're testing, or at the competition -- or simply moving the laptop connection from the robot to your local WiFi because you to look something up on the Internet.
This will not work at the event. Your radio will be programmed with a password by the radio kiosk at the event and you won't be able to enable the DHCP server.
