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 can use both the Kangaroo and Switch on the driver station as long as it is in accordance to the driver station rules in the manual. Personally, I would advise putting the coprocessor on the robot itself to avoid FMS bandwidth restrictions. If you do put it on the robot, be sure to pay attention to the FRC regulations for wiring auxiliary processors, i.e. they cannot directly control actuators, and the RoboRIO's ethernet connection must go directly to the router without an intermediate switch.
