R701       *Control the ROBOT with a roboRIO. ROBOTS must be controlled via 1 programmable NI roboRIO or roboRIO 2.0 (P/N am3000 or am3000a, both versions referred to throughout this manual as “roboRIO”), with image version 2025_v2.0 or later.

There are no rules that prohibit co-processors, provided commands originate from the roboRIO to enable and disable all power regulating devices. This includes motor controllers legally wired to the CAN bus.
