Idea talked about on the discord:
Instead of using drive racks linked over the powernet to the AI as the exclusive source of laws, laws are 'flashed' to the AI's internal memory. This may be performed from a robotics console with a valid connection to a drive rack, and the upload is performed to the ai over either the powernet connection where it is near instant, or wirelessly, where it may take several minutes. A similar system is used for borgs.
Individual racks are 'selectable' via the powernet ID assigned to each rack. In practice, if rack 1 had an ID of 1, and rack 2 has an ID of 2, you would target ai BOB with rack ID 1, and attempt to transfer laws over powernet or wireless, whichever link you prefer, the end result being you uploading the laws on rack 1. This allows multiple law racks to exist at the same time and incentivizes creating your own rack rather than having to subvert the default every single time.
