That's not true (from what I understand). You have the ability to establish a TCP stream to be used for your own purposes. TCP is bidirectional. You can send custom data from your dashboard to the robot in competition using TCP. It's not prohibited by the rules either.

You may notice that the example dashboards for CANJaguar use the TCP connection to send PID tuning parameters to the robot. They work with the LabVIEW, Java, and C++ closed loop examples.
