I know thats how we configure them for home use but the competition bridge config may change to set Static IPs. Hopefully FIRST releases some information & if they did we should take a look at the way the FMS connects to the robots.

For real competitions this year the RoboRIO and Drivers Stations will still be using mDNS and getting IPs via DHCP.

Since week zero events will be using last year's FMS (or a third party FMS such as Cheesy Arena), you will need to go into the RoboRIO's settings and set it to a static IP of 10.xx.yy.2, and make sure the radio isn't trying to serve out IPs via DHCP.

Similarly, you'll want to make sure everyone has their driver station configured for the correct IP (10.xx.yy.5).
