Just a heads up, we tried running TowerTracker on a TK1 at Greater Kansas City and spent literally all of Thursday trying to get it to communicate over ethernet. We got the calibration images we needed from the field about 30 seconds before we had to leave. The competition router image disables DHCP, and we hadn't planned for this. To fix it we had to set all of our devices' (Driver station, TK1, RoboRIO) IPs to static which took awhile because we hadn't planned for it.

Basically if you're planning on communication with the Jetson over ethernet make sure you account for the fact that the router competition image is different from the 'home use' image. I really don't want anybody to go through what we went through on Thursday
