Keep in mind, this was just one LRI's interpretation, but I assume it'd be fairly consistent across the board.
That's an interesting interpretation of the rules. R2 says that minor protrusions (such as bolt heads) less than 1/4" are not considered part of the frame perimeter doesn't mention anything about those allowances being related to the rest of the perimeter. I guess in certain situations the lead robot inspector just has to make a call but that would be a situation when I would definitely want to have a copy of the rules on hand.
