Are they on the allowed Minibot material list in The Robot section of the manual? Are they fabricated out of materials on the allowed material list?

If either of these is yes, they you can use them. If not, then they are not legal.

From the way I have read the rules. I think you can make them out of listed materials.

Miscar,
Lego parts are not part of the allowed materials list for the minibot, sorry.
