Cutting corners (on the robot!)

Hi everyone,

Our current frame is about .25" over the frame perimeter limit (R3-A)

We're going to cut two of the corners at 45 degrees which will put us under the 112" perimeter limit.

My question: do those two new 45 degree angles now count as sides? R19 says "If a side is shorter than 8 in., the entire side must be protected by BUMPER" I suppose it is, since the bumper is coming from the sides and front/back.

What do you think? Any precendent of teams doing this to meet the perimeter limit?

Thanks!

-Eric
