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.
How the mentors of a team inspire their team is unimportant, as long as the team is inspired to do great things. We on 1824 believe in 'student designed, student built', but that does not mean that all teams should do as we do. For inspiration comes in many forms. - Daniel_LaFleur [more]
