I know it is possible to get some data from the FMS (at least it was two years ago).

In 2014 we used a combination of a quasi light FMS to control the robots, with a bunch of custom software that would monitor the FMS and automatically start the custom hot goal and scoring software at the same time as the rest of the match.

My advice would be to get a copy of the off-season FMS and have a look with wireshark to see what you can get. See what packets are transmitted at match start, when you queue up a match, when you push scores etc.

You can also probably grab scores, rankings, team numbers and anything else on the standard display, as these are transmitted on the network to work with some of the audience displays.

Good Luck!
