Okay, you're wrong.

No communication goes "through" the Field Management System. The mode commands (auto/teleop, enabled/disabled/emergencystopped) come from the FMS and go to the Driver Station, which forwards them on to the robot along with the joystick data. This all happens on a closed virtual network, which only one team has a connection to. "The FMS" has a separate presence on all six virtual networks, and no routing takes place between them.
