Its very clear and I think you're doing a disservice to the rest of the community by debating this. Whether you agree with the rule or not (and I don't) you cannot work on code related to the competition robot outside of the build season, fix-it windows, and competition events. There is no way to police this so you're on your honor not to cheat. If you work with a practice robot and modify code with the intent of replicating those changes at the event then you are violating the rules. If you're testing and tracking bugs with the necessary fixes outside of the fix-it window then you're cheating. I don't think its good for the program, but those are the rules.
