The converse may also be true. Our pickup rake last year (Recycle Rush) featured about 30 spring-cushioned 10-32 bolts. It failed inspection based on the "unsafe operation" threshold at Bayou. We mitigated at Bayou with some heat shrink tubing, and designed a new pickup for CMP that we did not like as well. After a few matches, we put the original rake (from which we had removed the mitigating heat shrink) back on and passed a re-inspection where it was the most significant change.
