The cost accounting rules in the kit require that you account for the catalog value of the parts even if you had them donated.
Quote:
<R61> A FIRST robot may be built using only
• Items provided in the FIRST supplied Kit of Parts (or their exact replacement part)
• Allowed Additional Parts and Materials as defined in this section in quantities consistent with the Cost Accounting requirements

Quote:
<R71> Additional electronic components for use on the robot must be currently available from Newark InOne (http://www.newarkinone.com), Future Active(http://www.future-active.com) or Digi-Key Corporation(http://www.digikey.com). The total catalogue value of dditional electronic components must not exceed $200.00 USD. This cost is counted as part of the $ 3,500 limit. No single electronic component shall have a catalog value of over $100.00 USD.

Note the references to "currently available" & "total catalogue value." How you actually obtained something is immaterial.
The way I read the rules, they have to be in the current catalogs and you have to meet the cost accounting limits with the listed prices.
