We would like to implement this strategy. We have about 10 students on our Programming Team this year, using 4 Laptop's (with wifi). However, it is planned that only 1 of those Laptop's (besides the Classmate) will be connected directly to the Robot (we are calling it our Production Computer). The other computers are going to be doing some autonomous development, documentation, that kind of thing, so they don't necessarily have to connect to the Robot. However, since we have so many computers we are using another computer for our SVN Repository. See the attached document for details.
The easy way to do this is to have 2 separate wireless networks, 1 for the robot itself (including the classmate, Production Computer and D-Link) and our other wireless network for development, and then switch the Production Computer's wifi network to the Development network when code has to be passed down from the SVN Server. I feel that is somewhat of a kludge and can lead to problems.
The hard way (and what this document and quoted post refers to) is to have everything on one network and have the D-Link and Linksys in the same configuration as last year (although the D-Link and Linksys configuration is the gray area for me there).
