True, but another way to think about it is I am at the "event" and I have raw materials with me, lets go into our team's mobile machine shop and start cranking out parts and put them on the robot. Oh, and our mobile machine shop has more machining capability than the event's machine shop.

Technically I am at the event turning cots/raw materials into parts to put on my robot and the rules don't limit how much cots/raw materials I can bring in and put on my robot.
