I will be lead inspector in MN. And I agree that scrap is not a valid entry. However, they used such a small amount, even pricing it at $200 a piece wouldn't have affected the outcome at the bottom line.

Al is absolutely correct that scrap isn't a legal vendor because all teams do not have access to that material from "scrap".

That being said though, all they needed to do was to get a quote from McMaster for the smallest size piece that would suffince and add that cost to the BoM.

BTW, Kudos for building an inexpensive robot ... a lot of teams (including my own ) could learn form your example.
