Re: Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER

I'm not sure it's necessary to ask. It looks clear this time. I would bet that they were careful in their wording to say exactly what they wanted to say, and to express their intent. In that, I am glad that we re-designed the robot to eliminate the axle bolts beyond the frame perimeter, they were definitely below the bumper zone. Sadly, I expect this to be a major problem for teams that don't pay careful attention to rules and updates. I would expect to see many teams failed at inspection for this rule, and long lines at inspection as they are re-inspected. I hope they can get legal in time to compete.
