After chuckling at him because almost everything we used was from the KOP, i asked, "What do mean by 'exotic'?"
He replied,"you know things like Titanium alloys and carbon fiber"
he went on to clarify that if you bought a carbon fiber golf shaft and used that on your robot that would be one thing, but a custom part would be highly suspect.

I'd venture to say that he didn't know what he was talking about.
