Re: Bill of Materials, do it and do it well, and bring it to your event
I've volunteered as lead robot inspector at STL for three years now, and have inspected at Buckeye and at the Championship in 2005. This year I am also inspecting at Waterloo.
In my experience, the best example of a correctly prepared bill (as required by <R47>, <R48>, and <R105>) that I have see is the one that was presented to me yesterday by Team 68 Truck Town Thunder. A really first rate job!
I did not get to meet the team member who actually prepared the cost analysis, but I did tell the team captain that it would very nice if 68 would post a whitepaper here on CD and/or present a tuturial at the Championship on how to do this correctly.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
