As Jon stated (as per Q&A) there are not exceptions for bolt heads and the like.

The first year of the frame perimeter rule, a team showed up with a 38x28 robot. They couldn't compete, because they couldn't reconfigure it within the timeframe of the competition.
To the team's credit, when it was determined hopeless, they helped other teams with lesser problems.
