So if I put the one I got from FIRST Choice on the robot it's free, but if I put the one on from a prior year's KOP I have to account for the cost? How exactly would you like me to track which one I'm using - we have never made a distinction between original parts and spares, but this sounds like it makes a difference where you got at least your first one.
as long as you are only using the quantity which you obtained from First Choice, then I would imagine you can account for the cost assuming they are from FIRST choice. If I had an AM 9015 burn out and bought an exact replacement from AM but still only used the quantity that came in the kit (one), would I really have to account for the cost of that motor? What if this happened in the middle of a competition? Would you have to re-submit your BOM even though the parts on your robot haven't changed? What if you went to another competition after that? Right?
