It would be further possible to tweak the code during competition. Not re-program it, but say you wanted to make an adjustment to the shooter, it would be possible to do.

Just for these reasons, any wireless communication would be illegal. There is plenty of communication between the OI and the RC for the drive team to affect the robot systems during the match. They and and only they can have that control during a match. You can make any programming changes you want when the robot gets back to the pit. A reminder to all teams, you may only use the tether in the pits at competition. Wireless control is reserved for the field.
