In Manual:

FIRST will allow you to keep all of your robot controls (Operator Interface, OI power supply, joysticks, etc.)and not ship it with your robot on Tuesday, 2/22/2005. This will allow you to continue to work on your programming. If you decide not to ship it with your robot, please remember to bring it to your initial competition. FIRST does not have replacement controls.

No, you definitely CANNOT do that. Your robot has to be out of your hands by 5 PM on the ship date, and you need to get proof of this from the shipping company that picks up your robot so you can send it to FIRST
