The rule you quoted from Update 6 was revised in Update 7, dated 2/2/2010, 3 weeks before ship date. It hasn't been changed since then:

When do you make your chassis? While I would love to have the ability to crank out a chassis after doing prototypes but when your team consists of 5 students and a handful of mentors who are all taking too many classes at college it takes all 6 weeks to field something that runs. The chassis was built during week 1. We missed it the bolts. Our bad.
But that is neither here nor there. It happened, we are solely to blame but now the question becomes, what can we do to make sure it doesn't happen. Does anyone have any solution that could help alleviate the combination of the inspectors not knowing all the rules (or just missing things) and of teams just missing things.
Perhaps the simple solution, before you bag/crate print out the inspection form and inspect yourself. I think from this point on I will be doing that. It is no promise you will catch everything but it should help. Is this a viable option for most teams?
