Re: Allowable cost of FIRST choice items
I'm hoping the manual is correct and Bill's blog isn't. Just for fairness and/or the sanity of inspectors. Do you really want to have to keep track of a different KoP for every team in FRC? Also, while it won't matter in practice, it seems even more unfair than usual to let some teams have an extra $100+ for their robot because they got in early enough to get a free Jag.

Since charging these items against the $3500 is going to affect a rather small number of teams in practice, and keeping track of the additional "free" FIRSTChoice items for all teams at all regionals is going to be a huge headache, I think the former option is the sanest.
