If you look through this year's rules there is something stopping you.

<R60> The control system is designed to allow wireless control of the ROBOTS. The Classmate PC, FirstTouch I/O module, cRIO-FRC, speed controllers, relay modules, wireless bridge, batteries, and battery charger shall not be tampered with, modified, or adjusted in any way
A. User programmable “dashboard” code in the Classmate PC may be customized. (tampering includes drilling, cutting, machining, gluing, rewiring, disassembling, etc.), with the following exceptions:
B. User programmable code in the cRIO-FRC may be customized.
C. Dip switches on the cRIO-FRC may be set.
D. Speed controllers may be calibrated as described in owner's manuals.
E. The supplied fans attached to the Victor speed controllers may be powered from the Victor power input terminals.
F. The fuse on the Spike relays may be replaced with a 20 Amp Snap-Action circuit breaker.
G. The alligator clips on the battery charger leads may be replaced with Anderson Power Pole connectors (note: this is a recommended modification).
H. Wires, cables, and signal lines may be connected via the standard connection points provided on the devices.
I. Fasteners may be used to attach the device to the OPERATOR CONSOLE or ROBOT.
J. Labeling may be applied to indicate device purpose, connectivity, functional performance, etc.
K. Brake/Coast jumpers on speed controllers may be changed from their default location.
L. If CAN-bus functionality is used, limit switch jumpers may be removed from a Jaguar speed controller and a custom limit switch circuit may be substituted (so that the cRIO-FRC may read the status of the limit switches).
M. If CAN-bus functionality is used, the Jaguar firmware must be updated as required by FIRST (see Rule <R63-D>).
N. If the FirstTouch I/O module is not used as part of the OPERTOR CONSOLE, the embedded software may be modified. If the First Touch I/O module is used as part of the OPERATOR CONSOLE, the default software image must be used.

Sure there is a possibility this rule ceases it's existence for the 2011 season.
