Using previously-assembled COTS "kit" components

[2011FRC3238]

Certain items are sold off-the-shelf as "kits" - items sold as a unit that are meant to be assembled into a final form. (For example, AndyMark sells mecanum wheels in kit form that are meant to be assembled into mecanum wheels.) If a team has assembled these items before the build season for practice/test purposes, can they be used on the 2011 robot, or must they be broken down into the form in which they were shipped to the team before being used on the 2011 robot?

A COTS item that requires assembly is considered a COTS item, not a FABRICATED item.
