In short they only count against your $3500 limit
From the Q&A:
Q: We need 5 Victor speed controllers (kit has 4). The extra controller costs >$100. R75 sets individual item limit to $400. R71 sets limit of electronic component to $100. Does the Victor speed controller fall under rule R71 or R75?
A: Rule <77> specifically addresses the Speed controller issue. <71> and <75>. are not applicable.
From Rules:
<R77> The costs of additional non-spare robot control system components obtained from Innovation First Inc.
are included in the above $3500 limit. (Example: A team purchases a Victor Speed Controller from IFI
to use on its robot in addition to the Victors provided in the Kit. The cost of the additional speed
controller must be included in the above expense reporting and $3500 limit.)
