can you bring in parts to finish your robot in the pit before inspection?
For example, you haven't finished your claw/arm and you work on it between the ship date and the regional, could you assemble it on the robot at the regional?

The rules regarding when you can and when you can't work on the robot are pretty strict and specific. You should read Section 8.3.4 of the manual carefully. After the Robot ships, you CAN NOT work on upgrade capabilities for the Robot (as described, your robot arm would certainly be an upgrade capability, as the function would not exist on the Robot at that time) until you get to the competitions.
To do what you want to do, you can throw all the unfinished parts into the crate with your Robot, and ship them out on the required deadline (all of your upgrade parts need to go in the crate with the Robot - see Rule <R41>). Once you are at the competition, you can unpack them and resume work on the Robot at the event.
