So in the end, even that giant hint did not really help prior to receiving the full game. It was just fun.
The field BOM definitely continued after that as well. I know I've looked over a few, and my first year was 2004. I want to say the last one was in 2007 because I remember there being a carriage bolt on the list, and I know we used those to attach the plates to the end of the spiders.

(We were never smart enough to figure out what we were supposed to build though.)
