Perhaps you're misinterpreting <R07-L>:

The "hard parts" can only extend up to 1" outside the frame. There is no restriction on how far inside the frame they can extend.
Yes, but if the ~3/4" plywood is included as part of this 1" limit, then only ~1/4" remains available for metal "hard parts to interface with the frame.

My question remains unanswered. Are the quick connect "hard parts considered part of the BUMPERS or part of the ROBOT? If they are extending more than ~1/4" from the inner face of the plywood toward the frame, then it is a violation. If quick the quick connect hardware is considered part of the robot, then they are alos limited as to how far out from the frame face they can project into the plywood.

It still seems like a Catch-22 situation. Does anyone get what I am asking?
