Why not buy a decent 5 port switch for $20 and call it a day? It's in a metal box, has lights, is well built inside (I've used these before) and has a very small footprint.

That one weighs a half pound (I have one), so a lighter one would be desirable.
It also requires 7.5v, so some extra power work would be required to integrate it onto a robot.

I have one also I looked at the wall wart power unit and mine says 5 volts on it.

Sorry about the weight, I like them because they are really built well. I had forgotten that teams struggle with weight limits.

Re: pic: 2015/2016 Robot Radio Comparison

The one you linked is a 7.5v model, so teams just need to be careful of that when spec'ing one out.

This is 5v:

And it doesn't weigh much.

Re: pic: 2015/2016 Robot Radio Comparison

In the game manual for 2016 Stronghold the use of Open Mesh OM5P-AN is required. However they continue to mention using the extra ports like the switch in the old D-Link DAP1522/DAP825 provided after that.

Does anyone know if adding an Ethernet switch to the robot is legal in 2016?

I am picking on this topic because it went directly into adding a switch into the robot at the end of 2015 before Kickoff.

Yes.
