Re: BOM-list all KOP parts

I can only hope that First uses this for two goals:
1. Reduce/eliminate useless items in the KoP
2. Discover items that a lot of teams are using and arrange for them to be included next year.

For example... If every team has 4 pool noodles listed on their BoM, why not include it in the KoP? Likewise for the plywood backing, angle stock, and fabric used to construct the rest of the bumpers... It's seemed a bit ridiculous to have required bumpers of a specific design, but not to include any of the parts needed to construct those bumpers for a typical robot.
