What we were thinking is to write like 6 different codes (all very similar but different constants, etc.) for every possible scenario and then upload the right one right before we compete. Is that allowed?

You are certainly allowed to develop new software during Fix-It Windows (See Section 5.3.3, <R17> and <R20>) and at the competitions (<R19>). Any software developed during the 2006 build season, Fix-It Windows and at competitions may be uploaded into your robot and, if you use one, the dashboard PC.
In this thread, we're trying to understand the limits of work that can be done on the software OUTSIDE of those times. The rules are pretty clear regarding hardware (you cannot use replacement, upgraded or spare robot hardware that was fabricated outside of those times, but you can plan how to fabricate that hardware at competitions or during Fix-It Windows during the competition season). It's somewhat ambiguous for software to define where the planning stops and building begins.
