Re: Need Clarification of cost of additional Components rules
It is my understanding (and therefore not an official answer) that if the COTS assembly, in its most basic form costs over $400, then it is not allowed. Even though you may be using a portion of it, you would still have to purchase the entire assembly at the full price.
As far as the price goes, you would have to account for it as the retail price, or the price that everyone else would pay for it. If everyone else could purchase it for only the material costs, then you could account for it as so.
At the competitions, you will need to have a complete Bill of Materials (BOM) to show the inspectors. I've heard that they may be requiring you to submit that BOM, and not just show it (as we have in past years.) The BOM will require a component description, P/N, cost, and quantity. You do not need to show suppliers, vendors, addresses, etc...
If the group here can't help you resolve this, be sure to ask the Q&A forums.
