If we indeed can only use these two adhesives and nothing else... In my limited experience, the PVC cement is not very useful on anything but PVC and/or CPVC. The "Polycarbonate glue" seems have different varieties available and some of those look like they might be useful for attaching other items on the minibot list to each other. However, it sure would be nice to just whip out the contact cement or silicone if it's kosher to do so.
Thanks for any input in advance.

Welcome to Chiefdelphi!
As you will see mentioned in many threads here, the official answers to rules questions can only be provided through the Q&A system. Additionally, refinements to the rules come out in the Team Updates as well. All we can do here is give our opinions based on the rules.
Strictly speaking, I do not believe <R92> allows the use of any glue other than the two mentioned. One other place to check is in the Tetrix catalog linked in Team Update #3. If it is not listed in either place, then it most likely will not be allowed.
