that would leave the serial port on the cRio open, and dwould allow a network switch to combine several on the robot.

The sparkfun shield communicates over SPI, which theoretically has a higher bandwidth then the serial comms that it is replacing
There are cheaper alternate to the Arduino, the mbed, has CAN, Ethernet, file system and serial all built in at $50 only bad side id teh compiler is only online
