So does it have an integral data signature being sent out, (The Judges provide so this may be it) or is it in the bot software????

I don't think this is a matter to be concerned about. They told us its operation would be verified before the start of the match, so we're fine.

Nothing is in the bot software. This lap counter pulls 5v from the RC, nothing more. Your code has absolutely no influence over what the lap counter does, unless you mis-wire it--it connects to the red wire (5v) and the black wire (GND), neither of which your code has control over.
