If you were toying with code and accidentally made it unable to compile on your PC, but still have a workable version on your RA, is it possible to extract the .ino from the controller itself? If so, how?

Thats a good question, in my non-expert opinion I would think not since when it is uploaded it is compiled and you would have to re-download and decompile it which is very complicated to do.

Correct. You are not able to retrieve the code for the reasons wolfador mentioned.

In the future you can setup a github account and have your .ino's synced to there. That way you have access to pretty much every change you ever make.
