I hate this rule

Rule K3 says we have to account for every rivet we use as part of the cost. What is FIRST really trying to accomplish by having us account for every fastener???

It's not that they cost much - it just makes it impossible to say "We are sure we accounted for every part on the robot". To do so is either an accounting nightmare or a lie.
