Re: Crossover Ethernet cable - is it nessecery?

Actually, a straight cable can be used for both the wireless bridge-to-cRIO AND for the Classmate-to-cRIO connections. A crossover cable will also work. I know the FIRST documentation says to use a crossover cable to connect the Classmate with the cRIO, but it doesn't appear to be necessary.

Just the camera requires the crossover cable.
