Re: Metric Teams

217 is mostly metric except for where Imperial is the only option like the CIM motor mounting.

The only real exception to this rule is for our bumpers where we use 1/4-20 PEM Studs on the robot. We do this because IFI has an obscene number of 1/4-20 wing nuts that are perfect for bumper removal.

M4 and M5 screws are our standard, but we mostly use rivets anyway so the screws are at a minimum.
