Is the weight of a damper used to calculate the construction cost?

For scoring purposes, the Structural Model Weight, 𝑊𝑠, is equal to the weight of the structural model including damping devices but does not include the weight of the floor dead loads, roof dead load, base plate, or roof plate. (Section 4.4)
The weight of the base plate and roof plate will be subtracted from the weight of your structure if a team brings an unattached replica of them to be weighed separately during the week of competition.
