Seriously -- border guards aren't FRC inspectors.

"What's in the back of the van?"
"We do high school robotics competitions. That's our robots and tools."
"Is that like BattleBots?"
"Not really -- think basketball, not football."
"Are you selling anything while you are in Canada?"
"No. Just going to a tournament then going home."
"Have a good time in Canada."

Just reverse the comments coming back to the US. In a dozen border crossings we've never had our boxes opened, luggage inspected, or otherwise been hassled. In either direction.

There is nothing particularly sinister about even an FRC robot. Don't worry about it.
