Given the few amount of robots that even *move* in autonomous mode this year, I think if you're playing at a level where that amount of time matters, it would be a waste of time to cheat here.

I'm not sure why messing with the driver station would be easier. Wouldn't the team who wanted to do this then have to conceal the modified communication to the robot?

I wouldn't send the packets from the driver station, I'd send them from the robot itself over localhost using a raw socket to spoof the source -- remember, no authentication/encryption is done anywhere. Worst case scenario, you have to make a kernel driver to do it, but I doubt that's necessary. All of this is easier and "safer" than messing with the firmware which we don't have the source for, and would be really easy to hide.
