Prior year robots use the NavX (we move the NavX from bot to bot), and it is not worth updating their code.
Yes the navX-MXP firmware is backwards compatible - older robot applications should work exactly the same no mods needed.

It's also forwards compatible - if a robot application is modified to configure navX-MXP for 100Hz updates and is run with a navX-MXP with older firmware, it will run at 66Hz.
