Re: BOM Creation

Speaking as a robot inspector & noted that the opinions are my own and not necessarily of First & maybe not even of my LRI who is my final word...

I think the current BOM are poorly considered, but I interpret them to my best understanding of the 2015 rules.

The current rules does not require any accounting or listing of anything on any KOP list ever published & anything in First choice. Not everything on that list is legal on a 2015 robot. Makes a rigorous reading of the BOM difficult. I don't spend a lot of time with it. I concentrate on issues with safety and violations that might give the a competitive advantage.

In terms of allowed motors, I go by the current inspection check list since most motors are not required to be in the BOM & my thoughts otherwise doesn't change the rule. I inspect robots to the rules and not my personal opinion.
