The Q&A response seems to be a "look back" analysis. "There are no rules governing FABRICATED ITEMS that are never used on a ROBOT." - If a part (fabricated or whatever) is never used on a ROBOT, then it is not part of the WA.

I don't understand the distinction you're trying to make. Other than being stated in the opposite sense, how does "potentially a Robot Part -> part of WA" differ from "not a ROBOT part -> not part of WA"?
Are you perhaps trying to interpret the GDC's answer to refer to robot parts that have not been actually installed on a robot by the end of the event, even if they are parts like gearboxes and 3DOF arms that do get used on a robot? I think it's clear that it's intended to cover stuff like specialized tools and pit decorations and other non-robot parts (in addition to things that already don't get counted against the WA). You know, things that are never used on a robot.
