Default Disassembled COTS components

Is it legal to disassemble a COTS component for use on the robot (e.g. could we use a fan blade taken out of a vacuum)? If so, how is this indicated on the BOM? Also, do we have to account for the cost of the entire COTS component (e.g. the whole vacuum) or just the fair market value of the part we used?

Default Re: Disassembled COTS components

There are no rules that prohibit items salvaged from a larger assembly. The cost of the component that is entered on the BOM should be the fair market value of the part (not the assembly from which it was salvaged).
