Yes, you can use Python in competition, as I saw teams using it last year. You still have to use the FRC Utilities software on the controller laptop. Just don't expect to get help troubleshooting from other teams or the volunteers at the competition if you choose to go that route.
I'm still trying to figure out why teams feel Java or C++ is not sufficient that they need to go Python. Just to do things differently and prove a point?

Someone feel free to enlighten me...

By the way, interesting observation on SpaceX regarding patents. I didn't know that...but Tesla (and Paypal) do have plenty of patents so I'm not sure why Elon is being inconsistent in his psychology.
