It's been 5 years since the manual explicitly talked about COTS Drawings.

Example 3: a team obtains openly available design drawings from a professional publication
during the pre-season, and uses them to fabricate a gearbox for their ROBOT during the build
period following kick-off. The design drawings would be considered a COTS item, and may be
used as “raw material” to fabricate the gearbox. The finished gearbox itself would be a
FABRICATED ITEM, and not a COTS item.
