Anything is possible, I suppose, but burning EEPROM is an order of magnitude slower than anything these robots are doing.

I'm not too worried about that. The slowest part of EEPROM & flash operation is erasing an already-used page - and that's not the case here.

Chips like these only have 1kB of flash - I'd be surprised if you couldn't program them in less than 100ms.
