that part doesnt need to be under $400 because he didnt buy it, he manufactured it.

Well, the labour has to be under $400. That shouldn't matter in this case, though, since he's on our team, and NASA is donating the time (assuming they will donate the time, of course).

Also, the raw materials still need to be under $400, don't they? That is, if the aluminum costs more than 400 dollars, then it isn't allowed. I really have no idea how much NASA pays for the stuff, so it may be way under the $400 limit.

PS.

Rule K3: ... The “cost” of each component is counted as follows:
...
The cost of the raw material if the component was custom fabricated by the team (a team’s internal labor does not count towards the cost of the component);
