Wifi at St Joseph Event

[mhaeberli]

I suspect I'm repeating an oft-stated view when I say that permitted / sanctioned open WiFi in the pits and field(s) would be a real help, AND would discourage "bandits" consciously or unconsciously violating the request not to run their own hotspots in a venue. It would be great to have this at EVERY competition.

Going one step further, it would be a real help to programmers, in this era of GitHub, if we could also figure out default configurations for programming / drive laptops that could talk to a robot on the practice field or the pit AND talk to a WiFi network at the same time, for research, chiefdelphi searches, GitHub access, etc.
