If I remember correctly, we paid less than 1200 or so out of pocket to build our 2009 robot - but we had a good $500+ of donated belting on there.

Absolutely! Every year I'm an inspector I find teams who do this. I can count on one hand the number of times I have been able to accept the first version of a BOM handed to me because I just start picking out parts that aren't listed. This is a huge pet peeve of mine.
