Did you read the update from FIRST that implied this, right at ship day? There are union issues at at least one of the venues, and because of that, ALL of the regionals have to play by the same rules to be fair for everyone.

EDIT:
Furthermore, everyone seems to be getting hung up on the union comment. At many of the venues it is a non-trivial task to do team load-in of all the tools and such. If you add the robots to it too, it would take substantially longer, and you would lose extremely valuable practice time on Thursday.
