EduRobotics and Innovation FIRST system

During some of the Team Forums, there has been some talk about FIRST sending out some of the components in the kit of parts before handing the entire thing out at the Kick-Off (like motors which have appeared in the kits in the past). Having these components would not be an unfair advantage because they are "carryover" components.

This year, thanks to a donor, teams will receive the EduRobotics kit as soon as payment is received for their first Regional. For many teams, this will be helpful to them in learning how to program.

My questions is this: If a team has already paid for their regional, and if the Innovation First control is being used again without any modifications, then wouldn't sending along the real robot control system also be helpful to the teams? They will get it at kick-off anyways, and if a rookie team really wanted one, they could always buy one directly from Innovation First.

What about other teams? Would your programmers like to have their control system early so that you didn't have to swipe it off of an old robot?
