Emphasis mine

The cRIO-FRC was on last year's checklist in quantity 1 so you're all set and can document the cost as $0.
But it's not listed on this year's, so there is no quantity of it that we would be permitted to use. That rule is in place to allow teams to use old parts from previous robots without having to count for the cost of some. For example, we have 4 cims on our bot but none of them are from this year's kit, but since 2 are included, we can write 2 of them off as kop and not have to include the cost of 2 of the 4 motors.

Definitely needs to be Q&A'd. If you can't/won't, then I will. Whoever does should point out that any exception written for it should exclude the possibility of a team using both an FRC and FRCII for free. (Someone totally would.)
I don't have access to Q&A, so your asking would be ideal.
