The crates get shipped to drayage. They get stuck in a warehouse during the time between ship and your competition. Very few, if any, of the venues have the space to store 50 crates for weeks.
I've mostly seen the biggest hardest challenge of FIRST as being one of time management. I have some thoughts on how time management is equally available to most teams, rich and poor -cash, shop capability, engineers available. Unfortunately, I'm still a little blitzed by my child psych and nutrition tests so you will have to think it through like I did.
Removing the ship date removes that.
