One of my teammates had to have titanium screws in her leg for a while, and got to keep them once she got them out. Since the name of our team is the Titanium Titans, and the screws are made of titanium, she thought it would be funny to put it on our robot this year. However, we weren’t sure if we would need to determine a fair market value, as per R11. 2012 was the last year to have rules about non-functional decorations which specify this, with R05 (which I’d consider this to abide by), and R13 (which would exempt the cost of this item). The 2020 game manual lists no such exception.
So, is this item exempt from the BOM? If not, how would you determine the fair market price of something like this? If so, how would it need to be integrated into the robot to be considered a non functional decoration?
