We aren't on-schedule unless the programmers are programming AT the regional. No earlier, no later.
If you consider 1 or 2 days "a few"... I would get some basic code done, make sure it somewhat worked, then work on it some more after the robot was shipped. Then I usually spent the first day of the regional fixing bugs on-the-fly between practice matches. Even then the code wasn't that great.

Luckily it seems like my team has gotten it together this year and is finally making sure they give the programmers enough time to write and test code.
