Good job GDC. I didn't need the sleep anyway.
Paul,
What part of rule <R16> did the GDC screw up?
<R16> During normal operation no part of the ROBOT shall extend outside the vertical projection of the FRAME PERIMETER, except as permitted by Rule <G30>.
They gave us some freedom to have screw heads under the bumper but we had no right to expect that this would extend outside this space. There was a question, it was answered relatively fast and while there is time to work around it if you have to.

I don't see how we can blame the GDC.
