No matter how you try to justify it, $600 worth of parts that are meant to be assembled together is the same as a $600 part... I don't see where the argument is.

I did a bit of thinking, and based on this idea, your robot is illegal, just like every other team out there. You pay for individual parts to be machined, WITH THE INTENT OF ASSEMBLING THEM together, correct? How is this any different? The only change is that an adult mentor (Sam from outback) is designing them, and letting multiple teams build them. The only cost if for the individual pieces and materials. So my point is simple that if these are illegal, as they come in pieces, and you have to work closely with outback, then so are every single robot that competed in Champs.
