In fact, the argument that a piece of aluminum that is cut to a specific length is a FABRICATED ITEM and would count is pretty valid too.

Let's be fair here. There has been lots of snow, but remember that, at one time, we had to SHIP the robots in crates.

Your 2 for 3. Because you can buy a Super Shifter already assembled, it doesn't count towards the 45 as long as you haven't attached anything to it (ie a sprocket or a robot).
