i don't think you would ever be wrong in putting down the price you actually paid for an item.

The rule states:
The BOM cost of each non-KOP item must be calculated based on the unit fair market value for the material and/or labor, except for labor provided by team members (including sponsor employees who are members of the team) and shipping.

I would think that the fair market value (presently $60) could also be used for those Jaguars...

For your CIMS.... you can mark them KOP if you got them in this year's kit. If you purchased and used more then each CIM beyond the number you received in the kit should be costed out at fair market value.. (currently something around $29, I believe...) I would think that you would not be able to count previous KOP items

EDIT: Because the CIMS were part of First Choice this year... with no limit on the number that could have been received that way, they would still be KOP and no cost...

Here is a QA ruling on that..

Q535
Q.Are the cost of items from previous years' kit of parts excluded from the BOM (ex. 8 slot cRIO),
and are quantities taken from this years' kit of parts or from previous years' (ex. we received 1
jaguar in this year's KOP, but 2 in last year's KOP)? To rephrase, are items in any KOP exempt from
cost?
A.Generally, no. However, the 2013 KOP includes 1 Jaguar and a voucher for 2 additional Jaguars
(or Victors, depending on the Team's preference). The KOP also includes a cRIO (so, even if a cRIO
wasn't delivered to a veteran team, it's still considered part of the KOP). For the purposes of FRC,
and [R11] particularly, there is no distinction between the 4-slot and 8-slot cRIOs.
Q509



Actually a question I would have is whether a KOP item (from First Choice) which a team could not get because they were out by the time they could order, is shown as KOP or costed...,,,
anyone have an answer for this? There is no answer for this in QA as of yet
