Frank,
No that would not be illegal. The FCC has some pretty soft rules concerning low power transmitters. Stuff under 1 watt output and typical 100mW outputs do not need licensing as long as they don't interfere with critical services, i.e. heart monitors and military radios. There is one problem, field strength is affected by objects in the pattern. Moving robots, judges and referees, cameras and drive team will all affect how the individual transmitters will be received. That does not rule out Radio Direction Finding or RDF. That would be a pretty cool thing and something we have been looking into this year as an addition to auto mode sensors. As such, the addition of a transmitter is illegal under FIRST rules but there are many possibilities.
