Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by evaluating the linked Raspberry Pi networking approach and defining how the UI should enable bridging between the robot access point and the Wi-Fi uplink; done means a connected computer can reach the internet through the robot.

Description

Limelight

(Copied from https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/issues/7928, as this repo seems more applicable)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When you have the computer connected to the robot to code, not having an internet connection is a massive pain. Also, if teams are using onbot, having the ability to pull from and push to GitHub and such is a huge benefit.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a nice UI for enabling bridging, so when you are connected to the robot, you also have internet connectivity. The RPi hardware supports this (https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/89804), so it should theoretically just be a matter of having an easy way for teams to enable this.

Here's what it might look like:

                 wifi                         wifi uplink         wan
 ds-&-laptop <~.~.~.~.~> (ap@wlan0)RPi(wlan0) <.~.~.~.~.> router <───> INTERNET
            ╲             ╱               ╲
           (dhcp    192.168.43.1         (dhcp
         from RPi)                    from router)

Describe alternatives you've considered
A second USB WiFI adapter plugged into your computer, but that's extra hardware that is not needed, and also Macs don't really support that setup.
