Re: R14

Play it safe. Don't put bolt heads sticking out past your frame perimeter in areas that aren't in the bumper zone. The Note below <R14> states.

If a ROBOT is designed as intended and in its STARTING CONFIGURATION, you should be able to push the ROBOT (with BUMPERS removed) up against a vertical wall, and the FRAME PERIMETER will be the only point of contact with the wall.

If you remove your bumper and the area that hits the wall first is not the frame member supporting the bumper then you are in violation. AKA a bolt sticking out that is above the bumper zone and outside of the frame perimeter is in violation.
