4.3.6 FIRST recognizes that it is the responsibility of each team to design and construct their ROBOT within.....On the software side, writing actual lines of code, verification of syntax, final debugging, etc would all be considered development of the final software implementation, and must be completed during the approved fabrication periods.

<R24> During the period between ship date and the competitions, all teams may manufacture SPARE, REPLACEMENT, and UPGRADE PARTS, and develop software for their ROBOT at their home facility... This will allow teams to have the maximum time possible prior to each competition event to develop and complete the software for their ROBOT while maximizing the potential capabilities provided by the control system

These two rules seem to conflict them selfs one says you can't develop software after the build season (4.3.6). And one says you can (<R24>)
