I'd suspect quite a debate from a large number of teams if inspectors rule this "illegal".

We're using the KOP chassis, and while I'm reasonably comfortable we have enough wiggle room to pass the frame perimeter test even if they count the bearings, I'd be rather surprised/frustrated/angered if this were counted as part of the frame perimeter, given the design of the kitbot and the wording of the rules (bearings certainly seem "minor" to me).

What would the point of ruling this illegal actually be, other than possibly disenfranchising a lot of teams for absolutely no reason?
