Yeah, since it's not part of the robot it escapes the fabricated part rules.
You would not need to walk far into the pit at a competition to find items that are normally sold "by the foot" (e.g., extrusion, wire) being treated as COTS items for purpose of the withholding calculation. Updating rules to reflect this commonly accepted practice would be an improvement, IMO.
