I'd like to see teams have to call out what it is and where it's from, even if that is "2002 KOP" or "2013 FIRSTChoice" and the cost is $0.

Remember that it's not your job to disprove it... It's the team's job to prove that their robot is legal. If you're inspecting Wildstang (sorry Al!) And they point to a gizmo and say " We didn't have to list that because it came in the 1995 Kit of Parts", my first question would be " and it still works?" Followed closely by " you mean in the past 20 years you guys have never cleaned house and chucked old stuff? How much storage do you have at your build space?", And finally ending with "could you pull out the KoP checklist from 1995 and show me the part listed there? Like all you kids, I wasn't exactly around FIRST back then..."
