I point you to this post from Dave Lavery, and give you FIRST's phone number: (603) 666-3906

However, the FIRST Q&A answers this question differently than what Dave Lavery said....

Q: In order to continue work on our program, may we keep the 2005 kit of parts IFI robot controller after shipment as part of the controls?

Q: Are we allowed to keep the camera along with the controls after ship date?
A: Camera no, controls yes. Remember that the Fix-It window following your robot shipping limits what you can do. As part of the inspection process, teams will be asked to sign the following pledge: Team Compliance Statement We, the Team Mentor, Team Captain and Team Inspector, attest by our signing below, that our team’s robot was built after the 2005 Kickoff on January 8, 2005 and in accordance with all of the 2005 FRC rules, including all Fix-It Window rules (reference Section 5.3.3). We have conducted our own inspection and determined that our robot satisfies all of the 2005 FRC rules for robot design. Team Captain: _________________________ Team Inspector: ________________________ Team Mentor: __________________________

That pretty clearly (in my opinion) states that you were allowed to keep the "2005 IFI Robot Controller".
