Since it's part of the robot, control signals for the drone have to go through the roboRIO. (R56) I think you'd also have to modify the wireless communication to the drone to go through the allowed ports in R60. And R57 only allows one wireless bridge, hard-connected to the roboRIO (R58). So even if you could get the roboRIO-drone control set up I don't know how you could legally do the wireless communication to the drone. Or were you thinking of a tethered drone?
