Be very careful with that assumption...

KIT OF PARTS (KOP) – the collection of items listed in the 2011 Kit of Parts Checklist provided on the FIRST website at http://www.usfirst.org/frc/competitionmanual.
The items on FIRST Choice are not listed in the KOP checklist. Thus, per this definition from the rulebook, they are not considered KOP items. That would apply to the air storage tanks, cost accounting for anything obtained from FIRST Choice, the legality of the "Pneumatic Muscle" from FIRST Choice, etc... I know there's been discussion on here about that definition, I hope someone has posted a question about it by this point.
