Judges have nothing to do with enforcing the rules. Most of them don't even know the intricacies of the rules.
If you continue to develop this, I would hope you do it only for the sake of knowledge, and not to try and use it during competition. Any half decent inspector would never allow a robot with such a system on it to pass, and if they did, you're knowingly breaking the rules (and being "Un-GP" since everyone loves that phrase so much).
It has nothing to do with changing your robot's physical aspects. It presents a team with an unfair advantage. That's why a team can't bring out a step ladder for their coach to stand on and watch the match from about 6' higher (yeah, it's a safety hazard too). That's why you can't use any device to allow communication with any team members outside of the alliance station. There's plenty of rules like these that have no effect on the robot itself, but put other teams at a competitive disadvantage.
