Re: SBPLI Long Island Regional Disqualification

I'm not entirely sure. That was the support our coach used repeatedly for why we couldn't possibly have an illegal frame. I believe the person doing our inspection ran into the same problem we did, "FRAME PERIMETER" is defined in section one and used in the bumper rules in section five I believe. I believe we also had a new inspector who wasn't experienced enough to know all the rules yet. The volunteer we spoke to did also say that they looked at the bot early on and the head judge at our competition believed it was legal, but they only clarified when the complaints came in in much greater numbers in the hour prior to the quarterfinals. I can't say for sure how we passed, I sort of just chalked it up to yet another small mistake that should have been corrected earlier on.
