I think this gives teams an unfair advantage, where the point of ship date is so everyone stops working on the robot, which clearly doesnt happen.

Yeah, we built two identical robots before ship, and we've been using the second bot to train our drivers at the game. It's not like we're developing a new robot, though, and we're going to rebuild on Thursday of regionals... I wouldn't consider this to be "violating" the principle of ship day.
