I can guarentee it isn't legal for competition use, I'm not sure where the rule is, but, on the inspection checklist they check whether or not the voltage shows up in the driver station. If you are using something other than the driverstation, they will definitely have a problem with it, not to mention if the FTA has to troubleshoot your connection on the field. That said, I'm trying to recreate a Driver Station from looking at packet captures, and might test it at an offseason.
