Re: Weight for the BOM

Mike is right, you don't need to show weights for each line-item on your bill of material.

Please read all of section 8.3.3 and especially the examples given in section 8.3.3.1 of the 2008 FRC Manual before you complete your bill of material spreadsheet. After you've studied that section, please post specific questions here if you need more help.

I'll be at the St. Louis Regional and will be glad to answer questions about your bill of materials if you'll ask for me at pit administration early on Thursday. Well done bills of material make robot inspection go much faster.

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.
