Rookie / Veteran KOP parity

[2011FRC2973]

The instructions in the 2011 Inspection BOM Template include

Any item that was included in the Rookie KOP but not the Veteran KOP should be considered a KOP item and indicated on that tab, including the compressor. If a part was in a previous years' KOP, it's current cost must be accounted for on the non-KOP items tab.

1) The compressor in the Rookie KOP is not the same compressor previously provided to veteran teams. If a veteran team uses a compressor provided by FIRST in a previous year, do we get to claim $0 for the cost, or do we have to purchase the same compressor provided to rookies in order to claim $0 for the cost?

2) Similarly, rookie teams were provided 4 black jaguars in the KOP and veterans were only provided 2. If a veteran team uses a brown jaguar provided by FIRST in a previous year, do we get to claim $0 for the cost, or do we have to purchase a black jaguar in order to claim $0 for the cost?

1) The items are not in the 2011 KOP, thus they must be accounted for using the fair market value.

2) These items were included in FIRST Choice and are thus considered KOP items. The quantity is limited to the number available to teams (i.e. 1 grey Jaguar, 1 pneumatic muscle, etc). Additional quantities must be accounted for per Section 4.3.5.
