The last paragraph of R26 says

The primary intent of this rule is to allow teams to withhold the ROBOT control system, the OPERATOR CONSOLE, and selected relevant subsystems, and access them after the shipping deadline. This will allow teams to have maximum time ... to develop and complete software.

The controller would qualify as a withholding allowance item in R36.
