Frame perimeter

Due to how FIRST designed their c-channel and angle brackets, it is impossible for the outside frame dimension to be a whole number inch, the length will always have a .25 inch over the length of the c-channel. The rules allow for a square robot 28" by 28", but when we built the robot it ends up 28.25 since the channel is 1.125 inches wide. Will the .25 inch be an issue in inspection so we have to cut it down to 27.25 inches?
