I would be inclined to say yes, but you only have one shot to make it work. No troubleshooting the code. Because you can work on the code while its in the bag, I don't think its an issue. However, it is a slightly gray area. I would say if any teams try out new code, be sure to not print out any diagnostics, don't check the driverstation screen, and if it doesn't work first try just shut it down. that way, there's no chance of "working on it". And if you wanna be extra paranoid, make sure you undeploy the code after you finish.
