What was this thread about? Ohh yeah, IRI and the new wireless widgets.

Anyone have experience with putting an ethernet switch on the robot. Is it legal? I recognize that we use more ethernet ports than the average team but just curious.
In the 2015 rules, this would be covered by R48:
Quote:
Ethernet-connected COTS devices or CUSTOM CIRCUITS may connect to any remaining Ethernet port on the DAP-1522 Wireless Bridge but must not transmit or receive UDP packets using ports 1100-1200 with the exception of ports 1130 and 1140.
Note that R47 specifies that the roboRIO be connected directly to the bridge (or through an Ethernet pigtail), and that all applicable power rules be followed (R32 comes to mind)- if it's a powered switch you would probably want to supply it with regulated voltage, and odds are it would want 5V.
