There was a bit more to the BOM but it didn't fit in a screen shot. I just wanted to post this as an example of how inexpensive robots can be.

Well, as the great Ricky Q once said, "Good drivers make good robots" or some jiberish like that...

We picked 2549 because their drivers were top notch. It wasn't the fastest lap runner, it wasn't the most agile either, but it put up numbers because of its stellar drivers. They should be proud of their robot. I will for sure be stopping in their pit come time for Atlanta.

I will be lead inspector in MN. And I agree that scrap is not a valid entry. However, they used such a small amount, even pricing it at $200 a piece wouldn't have affected the outcome at the bottom line.

Al is absolutely correct that scrap isn't a legal vendor because all teams do not have access to that material from "scrap".

That being said though, all they needed to do was to get a quote from McMaster for the smallest size piece that would suffince and add that cost to the BoM.

BTW, Kudos for building an inexpensive robot ... a lot of teams (including my own ) could learn form your example.
