 ### Network
-At the department of automatic control, you should be connected to the omnibots via the same router. Currently this has been done with the router with name *robotlab*, where the IP naming conventions for the robots are `192.168.0.10X` for robot with name `omniX`, i.e. omnibot `omni6` has IP `192.168.0.106`.
