Most likely, you will have to ask the School's IT people to give you 3 static IP address that you can use (third one for the Radio).

You will then have to program the Radio to be a bridge between the school's wifi and the robot. Not sure how to do that.

It is not advisable to drive you robot where you can't see it. So, the configuration you propose is not recommended.

Also, it opens up your robot to anyone driving it that happens to have a Driver Station.
I was able to take another laptop and use it as a bridge between the RIO and the Driver Station on our primary laptop, however I could only get it to work on a private router and not our school's routers. Any idea why that is? Our school has several networks and I tried every single one of them. I noticed on one of them there was actually per-device isolation, meaning I couldn't even ping the laptop from our primary laptop. On the ones where I could, it could never read the RIO, even though it was bridged. I saw that Team 423 accomplished why I am trying to do and it is mind boggling how they did so. I have also tried VPNs and bridging those, and it worked for a few seconds but even then, when I pinged the RIO I got a response back from the laptop instead.
