I'm looking for a little discussion on how the "Fix It Window" applies to programming. Now, right off the bat, I know that no one is to compose programming outside of the Fix It Window to download to the robot at competition. This is straight forward and clear.

My question lies in some grey area. Drivers are allowed to practice on an old robot. One can test new ideas on an old robot to see if they'll work, so long as nothing is built and brought to competition outside of the fix it window. I'm kind of new at programming, so am I allowed to test out code, learn more about it, and create the actual code during the Fix It Window after our first competition? I want to be safe and follow the rules, G.P. and all that, but I also want to take advantage of any appropriate use of the code i can.

I'll probably post this question on the FRC Q&A at some point, but I wanted to hear some discussion on what everyone thought about this. Thanks!
