Chris,

It is unclear if there will be a printer available at all regionals (or any regionals for that matter). There is also the logistics of format as the rules do not specify that you have to use the Excel spreadsheet template provided.

If I understand everything correctly (which rarely happens)...

For submission to FIRST, you can submit your BOM in any format (paper or electronic; Scanned handwritten, ASCII test, Excel, Word, Lotus, iwork, Clarisworks, VI or even Multimate) either at the regional (once again, paper, CD or USB drive) or via email or snailmail. Your inspectors at your regional should have USB drives and will forward whatever you wish to give them to FIRST. What FIRST will do with this information is undetermined.

For inspection at your regional, your inspectors would appreciate a single legible hard copy. It will make our jobs a lot easier.

Thank you.

Mike
