Re: Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER
Tristan,
Team Update 6 is excluding the fasteners from defining the FRAME PERIMETER which in turn defines the vertical plane defined by the same. This ruling makes the determination of G30 easier for the refs, easier for the robot inspectors to determine <R16> and it takes the worry away from teams trying to apply a fix to fasteners that hold the frame together. It is rather an elegant solution, don't you think?
