I'm going to try using a gigabit switch with two wireless access points connected, and either a computer or a wired router giving out DHCP addresses. This way, all wireless connections are split between the access points, and all traffic goes through the switch - which should be more than capable of the load.

Wireless Networks
Teams will not be allowed to set up their own wireless networks at the Championship. While we certainly
appreciate the positive potential team-created wireless networks could represent, there is a chance such
wireless networks could interfere with planned activities during the event.

I am similarly disappointed by this, as The Blue Alliance was going to have TBATV installs set up in each of the divisions to provide hopefully seamless coverage in the pits.
