If you look at the restricted parts list there are 5 categories: "Electronics", "Energy Sources", "Exotic Materials", "Pneumatics", "Springs", "Traction".

Now, let's take Steel as an example. It's not an electronics component. It's not an energy source. It's not an exotic matierial. It's not pneumatics. It's not a spring. It's not being used as a traction device. Therefore, you can use it.


I know, the Restrited Parts List is quite redundant. Many of the things it lists are already outlined in the rules section. Basically, if it falls under any of the categories, and it isn't listed in that category, it can't be used. If it doesn't fall under any of the categories, then you can use/buy it. Just keep in mind that you have to stay under the $3500 robot cost.

If you look under rule K2, they give some examples that might help you understand it better.
