So I've changed my mind. The part is illegal, and collaboration is illegal. To quote the part use flowchart (presumably definitive in legality):
Quote:

Is the part or material off-the-shelf or is it custom made by the team after the start of the 2005 Kickoff? (See Robot Section)

"The" team implies the team using the part must build the part if it's not COTS. Other teams surely aren't Suppliers, so..... You could still get around the rule for collaboration by saying another team is just being contracted to fabricate things for you, I suppose, and say this this part is illegal because it's being delivered outside of the fix-it and build windows, I suppose.
