Do I need to somehow "deploy" the project to the laptop, or is that just if you are running it on the robot?

Correct, just run it from the command prompt. No need to deploy, you're basically running the same executable you run when you click the GRIP icon when running GRIP normally, just from a command prompt instead.

That's right, it shouldn't be any different. Thus the questions about pinging, running from console window to see error messages, etc.
