Why would regional/district events change their dates? It has nothing to do with robots bagged/unbagged and everything to do with location availability. Assuming events don't change, all week 5-7 teams will be better than they currently are now, and all week 1-2 teams could build/practice on their comp. bot straight through to their competition, making them better too. Everyone wins, and the field is more fair than it currently is now, where well-to-do teams have the sizable advantage. Teams that do week 1 events are still going to do them for the same reason they do them now; they are more ready than everyone else.

I'm understanding a little more of what you're trying to say and why this would be a good system. Thanks for the clarification
Something else to consider is how fair the regional is going to be at a 5th week regional when there is a robot who is playing on an actual field for the first time going against a robot that has been to 1 or 2 other regionals that year. Is there any way to get around that issue?
