We were told that last year there was 10 hours allowed to build spare parts between the ship date and the regional, and that you could put it on then? Is this applicable this year and situation?

The rules this year are:

You can keep 40 lbs. back from your shipped robot (Withholding Allowance). You can make spare, replacement, or upgrade parts for your robot with time limited only by the calendar (<R26>). You can take the weight out at the event, as well as doing any other work that can be done onsite (<R27>).
