Re: Is it legal??

May,
If the top of the wheel bracket is in the BUMPER ZONE then the FRAME PERIMETER is set by the bracket. If the top of the wheel bracket is below the BUMPER ZONE then the bracket, rivets and the bolt head are all outside the perimeter. If your total robot dimensions are still less than the 28 inches (71.12cm) by 38 inches (96.52cm) then you may be able to correct the condition with the addition of 1/4" plywood attached to the frame in BUMPER ZONE. The FRAME PERIMETER will then be set by the dimensions of your frame plus the thickness of the plywood.
