Re: legality of bolt and screw heads breaking plane of chassis meeting bumpers

I'm only speculating -- since this year's game has the bumpers very high off the carpet, R16 helps to limit perturbing fasteners, bolts etc. below the bumper zone.

Team Overdrive is already planning a quick fix to our robot since our wheels currently have bolt heads perturbing outside our frame perimeter. We already fit into the allowable dimensions.

I still predict that more than 50% of the robots will arrive at their first regional out of spec per R16. This will delay the regional for sure.
