148 will (of course) design our robot so that it doesn't violate the rule. That goes without saying for us.

I think the point of the above comments are that very few teams knowingly cheat but they just don't do their due diligence or lack a complete understanding of a complex rule. I inspected several events last year and had to surprise a few teams about their extension beyond the frame. At least we have simple bumper rules this year.
