Are you sure about that? The channel selection is in none of the documentation I have found. In fact, the competition port pinout guide explicitly states that connecting to any pins other than the four called out (ground, disable, autonomous, and practice) will void the OI warranty.

The three offseason competitions I have attended either used the official IFI field controllers, or had the radio channels set manually using the OI switches.
