IP address configuration

When running Crimson Arena on a playing field with robots, set the IP address of the computer running Crimson Arena to 10.0.100.5. By a convention baked into the FRC Driver Station software, driver stations will broadcast their presence on the network to this hardcoded address so that the FMS does not need to discover them by some other method.

When running Crimson Arena without robots for testing or development, any IP address can be used.
