Bill Of Materials

[louis_robotics]

When making the bill of materials, do we have to include EVERYTHING we used, including what was part of the KOP or just what we bought additional to what the KOP included?

[Zuelu562]

If you use the FIRST Template (Which you should be, it's required) there is a different section of the excel book for KOP and another section for Non-KOP (AKA COTS/Raw Materials).

The KOP Section Lists EVERYTHING (And by everything, I mean it; they list the totes!) that came in the 2011 Crate(s).

For the non-KOP Section, it separates it into sections that allow you to account for subsytems of the robot.

Good thing I saw this WHILE I was working on our BOM :D

In the Robot Section 4, it is part of the subsections, last one before The Tournament Section 5

Yes, we also noticed this while working on the bill of materials, thanks for causing us to do so!
