Section 5.3.3...

<R14> Prior to the competitions: After the close of the “FIX-IT WINDOW” and prior to the competition, the team must put down their tools, cease fabrication of robot parts, and cease all software development. Take this opportunity to rest, recover from the build season, and relax. Teams may scout other teams, gather and exchange information, develop game-playing strategies, collect raw materials, prepare tool kits, plan how to make repairs, etc. in preparation for the upcoming competitions. But no construction or fabrication is allowed.

Keeping the robot controller for the purposes of coding violates this rule. Since you're not supposed to work on the robot at all during this time period, there wouldn't be any benefit to not shipping the controller anyway.
