If the hardware or firmware is of a version that is not approved, it's illegal for blinky. Don't know about modified. All firmware updates need recertification. Pretty sure most companies already break that rule, but anyway...
Couple more points on the homologation form that are of interest:
- New software versions for programmable ESCs must be approved. Speed controls using software that is not approved will be deemed ineligible for competition and any results disqualified.
- As a company principal, I certify that all the above information is accurate and that the ESC being submitted is a production unit, identical to those that will be available to team drivers, and through the retail market. I understand that a violation of these rules will result in a minimum one-year suspension from the ROAR competition.
