We do. I absolutely hate having to file/sand off powder coat. So, we put in an allowance for it. More importantly, we make our axles a little longer too. I can never remember how much the allowance was, and every year, we have to look back at the previous year's robot or CAD model.

This is something we need to add to our internal Standard Operating Procedure.
