We asked FIRST this year about that exact ruling. They said that spares can be made up after the robot ships, just as long as they are functionally the same as the original. Also you can make any changes to the robot at the competition as long as all parts are manufactured at the competition. Otherwise small changes are allowed. As for the time in between regionals and nationals, it really doesn't take much time to change a robot significantly enough to change the way it competes. Simple things like changing the pickup or speed of a robot can make a world of difference. Rember Harris/RIT during hexagon havoc? They did fair at the regional competition, tweeked it a bit and had a national championship bot. Some changes are more noticable than others and whatever the change may be, it can make the difference in a robot a far cry from the origanal.
Good Luck to all
