As you might imagine, rookies tend to find the cost accounting rules to be a tad complex. What I've been advising some of our local rookies is to account for whatever they bought and used on the robot. If they run up against the $3500 limit, then they can start figuring out what they can legally prorate, but odds are that 98% of teams never even come close, so there's no sense in going through the hassle.
