So like your major parts could be in spec, but a screw would be allowed to stick out a little.

No - all of your physical robot must be within the sizing box, including bolts.

Bolts may stick out past the plane of your frame perimeter (the area that your bumpers mount to) but no parts except bumpers may stick out past the 28x38 box.

Build to 27x37 and you will be dramatically happier.

Then when you have a bolt head sticking out of your frame you don't have to worry!

(We had a bolt head that made us about 1/4" over-sized in 2007 - it was not fun.)
