Just because certain types of aluminum bar are larger than what inspectors might be accustomed to seeing on a minibot, I recommend that you bring a receipt that identifies the piece of raw aluminum stock as a bar or sheet (and not a plate).
This is quite interesting when you thing about it; in fact some parts could be made from the permitted aluminum stock...now it all depends on who made it. Perhaps it could be off the shelf, machined out of aluminum, but purchased.

Anyone else can fill in the rest of that.
