If I'm wrong, and the team would be able to come home, build a crate, and then ship the machine at a later date, you're right and the program wouldn't be all that valuable.

However, based on my understanding of the rules, a rookie team that does not have crate for shipment to the championship would have to forfeit their opportunity to go to St. Louis...
It looks like you're able to bag it, bring it home, crate it, and ship it:

You will have already competed at another event, so you must ensure your robot is bagged and tagged at the conclusion of that event per the instructions in section 5.6. Bring your robot back to your build site or other location away from the event venue, crate the robot and prepare for shipment.

Do not open your bag at Championship until it has been checked, approved by an inspector, AND pits have officially opened for robot work.

If you are shipping to Championship from an earlier event to which you have been given an Exemption, your robot will be sent from that earlier event to that event’s drayage location. You may be able to ship from there directly to Championship.

All teams attending the Championship will receive one (1) shipment home for their robot under the FedEx donation. The Bill of Lading for this shipment will be distributed at the Championship in the team’s registration packet.

Additional shipping details may be found in the “How to Ship Your Robot” document in the FRC Administrative Manual web page: www.usfirst.org/frc/competitionmanual. If you are shipping your robot, you must read this document to have a complete understanding of the process.
