No, your laptop will self-assign a link local address, which is compatible with the link local address the roborio will self-assign. If you assign the computer a static ip address and the roborio uses a link local, it will never talk. If you assign both the roborio and computer compatible static ip addresses, it will work until the roborio reboots after loading the image, and assigns itself a link local address. This will probably show up as an imaging failure.
