Re: Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER
As an aside, and as a general rule, we always design out robot to be at least 1 inch smaller than max footprint in all directions, allowing for any covers or fasteners, or stuff that may happen later.

The thing that would make this easiest this year would be to design the "lower" part of your frame to be a little smaller than the "mid" or "upper frame" that your bumpers attach to.
