The RoboRio is only communicating with the DS and maybe an off board Vision processor or camera. All of which should be on the same subnet. Thus, 255.255.255.0 would be the correct subnet mask for the RoboRio.

Now, the DS needs to be able to receive and respond to commands from FMS, thus the DS's subnet mask needs to be 255.0.0.0.

+1 to everything Bill said. Gateway is only useful if you have your roboRio connected to a LAN and need to point it to where it can access the internet, which you don't.
