I like the switch and kangaroo on the driverstation table is there reason not to do this? I figured that to be FRC event legal it can't be wifi.

You are correct, it can not be WiFi during FIRST events and likely not during off season events either.
May teams including Citrus Circuits used a Kangaroo this year. I believe they ran it on-board the robot.
With the current radio, there is a second port that allows the co-processor to connect. Alternatively you can put a switch on the robot to allow connecting the Kangaroo and a programming laptop to the RoboRio at the same time.
