This is the only rule in regards to controlling the robot with something other then the driverstation, but this rule only applies during a match and not well working in the pits. The other rules that would cover it are rules applying to wireless or bluetooth devices however this control would be wired directly to the robot. As long as the controller doesn't interfere during a match it would be legal.
False, see rules R69 and R80:

The Driver Station software must be revision 17121400 or newer.
Emphasis mine.
The compressor must be controlled by the robot, which must be controlled by the Driver Station.
