Helium balloon to reduce robot weight?
As to your original question. We placed a 5 port switch on the robot this year and attached it to the 2nd port on the radio. Other options include USB to Ethernet adapter or Ethernet emulation over USB and connecting the kangaroo board directly to the RoboRIO. You can then attach the network camera directly to the Kangaroo. I do recommend developing a way to use USB cameras in the long run.
If you can't run the Kangaroo on the robot, I recommend using the driver station as your co-processor, assuming it has the power to do so. Do be sure to take into account network lag in your control loops.
