Things may change in 2010, of course, but consider that these may not otherwise meet COTS criteria.
No the limit has historicaly been $400.

Just to get us used to answering questions by quoting the rules. This is from the 2008 manual (didn't have the 2009 handy.)

Section 8 - The Robot
<R23> The total cost of all non-Kit Of Parts items shall not exceed $3,500.00 USD. No individual item shall have a value of over $400.00. The total cost of COMPONENTS purchased in bulk may exceed $400.00 USD as long as the cost of an individual COMPONENT does not exceed $400.00.
