Re: Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER
It seems to me that if you have a fastener head sticking out of a frame member, then that fastener head now defines the frame perimeter. If you wrap a string around your robot and over the fastener heads, and it is more than the allowed dimensions, you are in violation. Why even take the chance? Build it smaller.
