We've done it. It works fine as long as you don't try to pull too much current from the RoboRIO. 500ma is the max draw on USB 2.0. So, if you're trying to power 3 cameras, for example, you'll likely be in an overcurrent situation. Try powering the hub from a 5V supply and see if it works better for you.

HTH,

Mike
