For use on a competition robot, messing with the master code is 100% absolutely not legal. It's also not really possible without inside information.
If all you want to do is get back arbitrary bytes from the robot, the existing data stream gives you six "user bytes" for exactly that purpose. You're still restricted to the predefined transmission rate of ~40 packets per second, which I believe is actually maintained by the OI software -- which you have absolutely no control over.
