As you mentioned with a 30 lb allowance you can work longer until your regional comes up...
With a lack of a withholding amount, I don't really think it would even out the regionals. For the teams that went to, say, a regional every week, they would have five (or so) Thursdays to improve their robot, whereas a team that only went to one regional would only get one extra day.

That said, 30 lbs is definitely enough to do some improvements.
