Does this mean that the robot driver of one team can choose to control the robot from the spy box.

Agreed. No powered signal devices are allowed in the spy box, including either wired or wireless controllers. If you set up (for example) a Kinect type interface with the camera and control unit in the castle or on the robot, the spy could "drive" a robot using this interface in teleop (not auto).
