Are the packets sent to the OI constructed by the master uP? Can we hack it to send our own byte stream? If we add stuff to the txdata typedef, tx_data_record, can we trick the master uP into sending it? Or would it just balk? What feilds of that structure are "safe" to set to send arbitrary data? If we made our own structure of the same size, what bytes could we use?

I'm pretty sure that just changing txdata wouldn't do anything, and it's not a good idea to do this for competition purposes anyway. There are a few "user bytes" whose values are sent to the dashboard, which you could use to communicate with it, or you could store values in unused pwm outputs, which are also sent to the dashboard.
