Doing this will work okay until you try to view Dashboard information. The robot will try to communicate with the device at 10.x.y.6 only, and if you haven't set your computer to have that as a static IP address the Dashboard communication will fail.

DHCP will also not give you the expected results in a competition environment, as the field's router does not know what team number your laptop is supposed to be associated with.

Is there a way to tell the Dashboard to send the data to another PC. It would be nice to have more than one Dashboard running during testing, with one group following the camera, and another monitoring the motors, sensors etc?
