I recall a 2009 rookie who showed up at Los Angeles with a very nice steel tubing frame. Well, it was nice until it met the sizing box, which sent it to a grinder for shrinking, as it was a little bit too big.

It did eventually pass inspection.

Another team at the same event apparently didn't do their unit conversions properly. Very good bumper attachment system, very much out of the allowed zone. Not sure how they reworked that one.
