Tehtering Computer with Controller during Pilot Skills

We had a team last year use code in conjunction with controlling the drone during the flight skills last season. Rather than just having their controller and piloting the drone, they had their computer tethered to the controller and showed that they used code to modify how the controller inputs are used.

Is this allowed or not allowed?

During the Piloting Mission, the controller must not be connected to a computer. The pilot is required to manually operate the drone using only the controller. Any code-assisted or computer-mediated control is not permitted during the Piloting Mission.
