Further question:
If you re-use parts from last year, do they need to be included in the bill of materials? Does their original cost count against the $3500?

All custom parts and assembled mechanisms on the robot must be fabricated and/or assembled by the 2003 team after the start of the Kick-off. Mechanisms may not be reused from previous year's robots. Individual off-the-shelf components from previous year's robots may be re-used to save the cost of re-purchase of these parts.
From what it sounds like, you can re-use components (a motor, etc.) and not account for the cost of it, but you cannot use a mechanism (arm, gearbox, etc.) from last year.
I would still ask FIRST about accounting for a re-used component.
