It would be great to have this at EVERY competition.

Going one step further, it would be a real help to programmers, in this era of GitHub, if we could also figure out default configurations for programming / drive laptops that could talk to a robot on the practice field or the pit AND talk to a WiFi network at the same time, for research, chiefdelphi searches, GitHub access, etc.

Actually, the amount of networks you can connect to at any one time is determined by how many network adapters you have. If you were to use your wifi adapter to connect to the Internet, and plug the robot into your Ethernet adapter, or the other way around, you can both access github and deploy code to the robot. If you purchase a USB wifi adapter, you can connect to both of them wirelessly and use the system described here.
