Asked about this in the comments on the blog, Kate responded. Sounds like passive connection to PWM pins that drive motors, as I described, is legal.

Thanks for the question - and my apologies for the uncertainty...
The second sentence should read "As soon as you decide to use those PWM pins to cause robot parts to move (and you're not connecting via options A or B), you’ll have to use an approved device that FIRST has pre-vetted and listed in the manual as legal.” The text above will be revised.
The bare PCB with headers sounds like it meets the definition of Passive Device – so you should be fine with what you’re proposing.
