I definitely agree with you on that one. After West Michigan, our robot needed some serious repairs. It broke in the final qualifying match, and we needed to replace a broken shaft. Had we not been able to take our robot home, we would have either had to fix it during the elims, or fix it during practice Thursday at Great Lakes. Instead, we took it home, fixed it in our shop, and gained the peace of mind in knowing that our robot was fixed and ready to compete right out of the box (or crate, as it masy be). I don't think teams should HAVE to take their bot home, but it should remain an option for anyone who wants to.
