During the season, or in the offseason, you can modify, rewrite, or replace any of the libraries above the FPGA access libraries. Since writing that from scratch would literally take you years, may I suggest learning to read the code that is there.

FYI, one of my biggest turn-offs when interviewing job candidates is the NIH syndrome. NIH == Not Invented Here. It seems to be a phase all programmers and engineers go through, but almost nobody is productive enough to be able to compete well until they get over it. Learn to read, debug, analyze, criticize, praise, understand, extend, and communicate the designs of others. It will serve you well.

You cannot modify the FPGA. That would remove the ability for FIRST to control the outputs and provide a safe experience for team members, volunteers, etc.
