You can legally build a practice robot - just don't bring it near the competition assembled.
A large percentage of the ChiefDelphi readers belong to teams that do just this based on my recent poll this year (including myself).
There are some limits obviously - you can only legally and practically change so much at the competition but it does give you some advantage. It can also bootstrap changing things between competitions.
