I'm sorry but I would have to respectively disagree here. I believe that the intent of the trailer all along was to be towed behind the robots as a typical trailer (boat, rv, etc) would be behind a car or truck... This is a pivoting, freely rotating connection.

I believe that designing strategies around small oversights in things like tolerances in drawings in order to gain an advantage is at the risk of the team and should they risk doing such, face the facts that their strategy is null and void when the inconsistency in the drawing is fixed.

That is the lesson that should be learned here for your team, IMHO.
