Can we transmit any data from a custom dashboard TO the robot using UDP ?

New R75 from update#7:
<R75> The Driver Station software provided on the FRC website (www.usfirst.org/frc/kitofparts) is the only tool permitted to specify and communicate the operating mode (i.e. Auto/Teleop) and operating state (enable/disable) to the ROBOT. The Driver Station software must be revision 01.05.11.00 or newer.

The text "collate driver/operator inputs and communicate them" was removed (striken) from the rule...

We would like to move our image processing from the cRIO to our laptop. This would involve putting the camera on the D-Link and then sending a couple of numbers back to the robot via UDP 1130.

Since this would involve no user inputs, and no changing of the robot mode, it would seem to be legal under R75. Am I wrong?

Also, anyone have any idea how to do this in LabVIEW?

Thanks,
