Ask for the Lead Inspector, not just any other inspector. That way you get the final word, and someone else to deal with the inspector who made the call in the first place.


steelerborn, that bolt catch is a "standard" rookie mistake. That wasn't a FIRST mistake. That was a team's (hopefully rookie) mistake; the rules don't give a bolt head allowance in the sizing box, but do for the frame perimeter. (The C-base as currently produced makes a 37" square robot before being cut down to FRC size.)
