Now, on your rules question: What is the definition of Fabricated? It's a part of some form (component or mechanism) that has been modified somehow into its final form for robot use, completely or partially. (Paraphrase of the definition in Section 1.6) As such, that collection of parts on the acrylic sheet would be a Mechanism, a Fabricated Mechanism (note the definition of Mechanism in the same section). As it is Fabricated, it would indeed count against your Withholding Allowance.

So the idea here is to mount all your control devices in such a way that you can pull them all off, stuff them in a box, and carry them in as COTS items to be reassembled at the contest. In this scenario, the only item that would count towards your withholding allowance would be the acrylic sheet.
Seems simple enough. Thanks!
