No, they slide a bar that checks to see if you robot is in compliance. If a bolt is sticking out and the bar hits it, you don't pass. You would have to shave the bolt or take it out so that the bar can slide freely. They will make you shave off as little as 1/32 if the bar doesn't slide. They haven't allowed allowances since we joined FIRST in 2005. We keep our robot at 27 1/2" by 37 1/2" to allow for bolts.
