There are some regionals about a week or so after ship, yet there are also regionals over a month after we ship our robots out. The idea of shipping your robot to a dryage company makes it a fair playing field. Otherwise teams in the later regionals would have an incredibly unfair advantage over other teams.

FIRST doesn't open the crates at all, once you seal it in your shop, it won't be opened until you get to your regonal(s) and open it up yourselves.
