...well I was looking for the bill of materials and I was also wondering how they would know how much money we spent on materials and a good way to keep track.
They won't know how much you've spent. Inspectors will look at your BOM, and if they see something suspicious, they may call you on it. but ultimately FIRST leaves it to the teams to document what they've spent in good faith.

Keep a list of all the parts you've ordered and plan on using on your robot. If you don't make the BOM before shipping the robot, I highly suggest taking pictures of the robot from all angles so you can visually account for everything on the bot, instead of relying on memory.
