All I have to say is that FIRST has good reasons for this ruling.

1) Playing field is leveled to be fair to all teams, so better funded teams don't completely womp less funded teams.

2) Your team is like a business producing a product. Guess what people in the real world have to do. Yes, that's right, they have to account for all the materials that are used to build their product.

3) Finance is now an important part of the game which means students can now experience first hand at what the actual companies do every day.

So welcome to the real world. You can complain all you want, but that's not going to change anything. The purpose of FIRST is to teach students about the real world, and I believe that this is a very good way of doing it.

[edit]And for those who have not read the most recent rules update... nuts, bolts, washers, screws, etc that are less than $1.00 each in cost do NOT have to be accounted for.[/edit]
