Aha! You mean splicing out power from the competition port, then running a motor controller to it, controlled by outputs from the operator interface? Seems complicated, but maybe the only option.
Or maybe not.....

Nope, no good.
<R69> All equipment connected to the Joystick Ports of the Operator Interface must be powered solely through
the power available through the port. External power sources of any type are not permitted on any
equipment connected to the Joystick Ports. Portable computing devices may not be connected to Joystick
input ports on the Operator Interface.
<R70> The Competition Cable at the Alliance Station must connect directly to the Competition Port on the
Operator Interface. No intermediate connectors, cables, or “pigtails” are permitted.
