Re: Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER
Everyone keeps focusing on the sizing box. This question has nothing to do with the max legal size for NORMAL VOLUME. Only with frame perimeter. The sketch below is of a 12" square bot, which could never have issues with the sizing box. However, as the rules currently read, is not legal. Since we have not yet recieved an answer, the only alternative is to desigh the bot so that this does not occur. If this is truly illegal, I would expect a great deal of trouble for some teams at inspection this year.
