Paradoxical Q&A

I recently got a response from a Q&A that makes pretty much all robots illegal:

Quote:
Q. If a COTS item is mounted to an assembly of fabricated components, is the item still considered COTS if it is otherwise unmodified? (ie, no mounting holes drilled in it)
A. No. Mounting a COTS item into an assembly is considered modifying it, making it a Fabricated Item. If the COTS item was removed from the larger assembly and otherwise unmodified, it would be considered a COTS item.

Now, isn't a robot an assembly? So mounting a Jaguar to an electronics panel makes it no longer COTs, and thus in violation of the rules? I'm sure this is an unintended result, but humerus none the less.
