You would not be able to compile code on the GBA, but if you wrote some type of script that would be saved in EEPROM on the RC then it is possible you could use the GBA as a terminal to modify the script.

If you wanted to do something like that I would recommend creating the script and the PC editor, and then porting an editor to GBA.
What my plan was to do is make a pre-compiled list of commands for the GBA that could be compiled into a list of ID numbers that the user could select and make a list of editable (speed, time, distance) commands, which would then store the commands in the RC through EEPROM. Once stored, when autonomous mode started, the RC would read the EEPROM and run the corresponding function related to the ID number that was stored by the GBA.
