Re: measuring from bolt to bolt
Having been a robot inspector in the past, I found that the temperature of the venue changes the size of the box. When we started, one cold morning, the box was just a little bit small (more for the vertical measurement than the horizontal measurement) but as it warmed up, it grew. Something to keep in mind. Also, since the boxes are made at one temperature, and used (probably) in another, it is best to make it smaller so you will not run into these issues.
