Re: Is a bearing a "minor protusion"?

I've noticed inspectors have been a little more relaxed with robot size rules since using perimeter. When we had "the box", bolt heads counted as part of the robot. Not because that's how the rules were, but because the box incorrectly enforced the rules. Bolt heads on the other side of your robot (the side facing the lexan) counted against your width (and I got into an argument about it in 2012 with the LRI).
