John,
Hope this helps from the Q&A...
We are a veteran team. I want to be sure we are properly calculating costs in the BOM. Rule <R23> states:
<R23> The following items are EXCLUDED from the total cost calculation:
A. All items provided in the 2010 KOP
Chapter 10 of the manual states:
The items listed on the 2010 Kit Of Parts Checklist (
http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc...nt.aspx?id=452) are considered Kit Parts.
That checklist is divided into "Veteran" and "Rookie" Kits. Are we allowed to calculate costs based on the totals of both KOPs? For example, The veteran kit includes 2 Jaguars and the Rookie kit includes 2 Jaguars. Does that mean we can use 4 jaguars and list 4 Jaguars on the BOM as KOP parts and assign a value of $0.00 to them, or do we have to count 2 at $0.00 and 2 at $73.00?
Answer...
Please see the the definition of "Kit Of Parts" in Section 8.2 of The Manual. For the BOM cost calculations, all items listed in the 2010 Kit of Parts Checklist are considered kit parts, regardless of whether you received them this year or not. Four Jaguars would have $0.00 assigned to them. Any additional Jaguars must be accounted for at $73.00 each.
