Unless you are planning on putting the crate on the field, it is not required on the BoM.
R10:
Quote:
The total cost of all items on the ROBOT shall not exceed $4000 USD. All costs are to be determined as explained in Section 4.3: Budget Constraints. Exceptions are as follows:
individual COTS items that are less than $1 each and
Kit of Parts (KOP) items

Emphasis is mine. The cost of the crate does not matter towards the $4000 limit because it is not part of a ROBOT and therefore, you have no burden to prove it on the BoM.
