You'll have to ask the GDC. Or Frank.
PERSONALLY, I see it as a throwback to the days of the sizing box: If your robot fit, you were good. Otherwise, the inspectors would show you which bolt you needed to cut off. Many teams learned--the hard way--that the box was absolute, and designed about 1/2" or 1" undersized. It was actually relatively easy to measure, if it was set up (properly).
The sizing box went away in 2013, as I recall.
