It doesn't actually have to be commonly available, as long as it isn't dangerous or too expensive.
I wonder how stringent their standards are for hazardous materials. Lead and beryllium come to mind. They would be harmless on a robot but dangerous to work with. So FIRST could restrict it on the grounds that it puts students at risk, while allowing COTS parts containing the materials.

Wood is my favorite kind of metal.
