Bill of Materials Question
 

I cant find any instructions or guidelines on how to fill out the bill of materials. Can anyone help me?

Do you have the template? If you don't have that, get it and then we'll see what we can do. http://usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/...nt.aspx?id=452 listed under Section 8

I have the template but my issue is that I'm unable to find the price and weight for certain parts most specifically the bolts and screws.

Oh, the fasteners? <R23> says that you don't need to worry about those, provided that the cost per item isn't over $1.00. List them, as knowing how many you use can help you in planning for later (and to comply with <R21>), but you needn't include the cost, except as noted above.

As for weight, you aren't required to include that in the BOM. It's included to help you get a weight estimate.

You don't need to list fasteners such as bolts, screws or small electrical fasteners on the BOM. See this answer from the Q&A System. So you don't need to worry about those small items.

Another gentle reminder to utilize the official Q&A System for questions on rules and rules interpretations, to ensure that you get complete and correct answers.
