EricH: Yes, It was the first ever time we had a 100% student CAD team design every piece of the robot, We had planned for 1 inch of extra space on each end of the bot, however we had an issue that pushed us to the max dimensions. The bolts did fit in the sizing box (barely) but the way we had designed the bumpers that year (big mistake scrapped it immediately after that) gave us some issues.

My main reason was just to state that there is sometimes something that you don't plan for that can happen during inspection. But by tackling those challenges in the heat of competition helps you learn that mistake, how to fix it, and also grows your team much closer together. I apologetic for my miss-wording of my previous comment.
