Is there a concern by statically configuring IP's for myd river station, roborio, and co-processor as long as their in the correct team number subnet, i.e. 10.59.29.xx for us, 5929?
Team 900's expert advice:

1) Use Static IPs where possible.
2) Ensure gateways and subnet masks are set correctly.
3) Ensure connectivity of vital components prior to start of the match by building a dashboard or script.
4) Don't use the words 'balls' and 'fuel' interchangeably on ChiefDelphi.*
