Re: MXP Ethernet Switch

Just a little background, I work for a company that builds rugged compact low power modular systems for the defense and aerospace industry. We already make very low power and compact ethernet switches with integrated processing power.

How I imagine my team using this product would be RoboRIO Ethernet -> OM5P-AN -> MXP Ethernet switch, our camera(s) and tether would connect to the the MXP Ethernet, our vision processing would take place on the integrated processing power ( CPU/FPGA ) and then talk to the RobotRIO through either/both the SPI/DIO on the MXP and Ethernet.

I'm not necessarily looking to make this a "business", so the small market isn't really that much of a concern to me, but I wouldn't be opposed to it .

Edit: Btw I appreciate the comments/concerns, but unless this project is somehow deemed illegal by 2016 rules, I'll be working on this for my team regardless of other's interest as a product, I'm just curious if anyone else would be interested in this or something similar as well.
