So your classmate is connected to the robot over wifi, and your laptop connected to another wifi network for internet?

You could try connecting the programming laptop to the classmate over ethernet.

On the classmate (running windows 7):

Log into the developer account
Click on the network indicator (lower right side of the screen)
Click "Open Network and Sharing Center"
Click "Change Adapter Settings" in the left hand panel
Highlight both ethernet (May be called "Local Area Connection") and Wifi adapter
Right click - then click bridge connections

On your laptop (Windows 7 instructions, should be similar on MAC):

Log into Your account
Click on the network indicator (lower right side of the screen)
Click "Open Network and Sharing Center"
Click "Change Adapter Settings" in the left hand panel
Right click on your Ethernet adapter (Local Area Connection)
Click properties
Click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
Click "Properties"
Click "Use the following IP address:"
       10.xx.yy.12 
       255.255.255.0
Leave the other fields blank
Click OK

Now connect the 2 via ethernet.

If You followed the steps correctly, and assuming I wrote the steps correctly, your laptop should be able to program the robot and still be able to use the internet.
