Does anyone know the page in FIRST that has the wiring from the roboRIO and the robot to the control center?
Here is a link from the FIRST website about wiring the 2016 FRC Control System.

Let me elaborate on that question: How do we connect the DS, RoboRio and PC (running LabView) to the new radio since it only has two ethernet ports?
You plug the Robo Rio into one of the Ethernet Ports of the Router, and the DS into the other Ethernet Port. That is “tethered”, and you must provide for that during competition.
During game play, the DS connects via wifi.
If you want to add additional devices, such as a Camera, you must install a hub on the Robot.
You do NOT need the DS when programming the Robo Rio. So, you can disconnect the DS while programming.
If you have a hub installed, you can tether the PC just like any other device without disconnecting the DS.
Ok, that answered our question then. i understand the setup for tethered and wireless game-play but during development we want the PC connected as well. We’ll install a temporary hub then. I presume that the hub can be off robot, ie. PC and DS connect to hub, hub connects to radio and RoboRio connects to radio.
