The 2007 Kit of Parts included four Victor motor controllers. This year's KOP included one. Would up to four Victors be exempt from cost calculations this year? By this interpretation, they would, and a team could include four Victors and four Jaguars without a cost penalty. This is not contradictory, but I doubt it is the intended effect of the rule.
However, this interpretation is necessary to make the 8-slot cRIO legal, which is clearly the intent.
The interpretation I prefer is this: items are exempt from cost calculations at the quantity they were last included in a kit of parts checklist.
This means that a single cRIO-FRC would be exempt from cost calculations, because the last checklist in which it was included (2011), has quantity one. Victors would be exempt up to quantity one, because one was included this year. Next year, if Victors are not included in the KOP, one would still be exempt from cost calculations.
