Bill of Materials Questions

[T-BOTS]

We are trying to prepare our Bill of Materials, but we are a rookie team, and we have a few questions that we are trying to get clarified. (We want to have 100% compliance with the rules!)

Can we see an example of a successful Bill of Materials? We have the template, but we would like to see the items that teams traditionally place on their Bill of Materials.

If that is not available, then maybe we could just get the answers to these questions:

- Do we list "all items used in the construction of" our robot? Would this include drills, table saws, and other materials that are not currently located on our robot?
- Do we list all items on our robot or only items over a certain price range?
- If we are listing items like "electrical tape" or "electrical wiring", do we list how many inches or feet were used?

For a sample Bill of Materials, we suggest you poll the FRC community and have them share their documents with you. This can be done in the Discussions forum here.

Meanwhile, in response to your specific questions...
1) Items not used on the competition robot are not to be included in the BOM.
2) Please refer to Rule <R23>.
3) Please refer to Section 8.3.3.1, part E.
