Is this a hard-coded value in the driver station?

This was a mechanism that allowed the field to ask the robot if its version matched the one sent. The value is simply relayed by the DS. It is not necessary for a DS implementation.
Keep in mind that the protocol is changing significantly for the roboRIO.
Why subject your robot to a potential sensor failure when you can train a monkey (or a student, if monkeys are lacking) to put the tube at the right height every time? - JVN [more]
