Re: pic: Is this corner considered protected?

What is the cost of squaring out the back end and ensuring this will pass inspection? Does the teams assumption that an angled rear gives some benefit to the trailer robot driving dynamics? The robot and trailer are to the point that the team should be able to test this assumption. I content that with the trailer dynamic our team has experienced, this angled rear design may not be desirable from a driving stand point. The team at this time will only loose a little build time this week modifying the design.
What is the cost if the team decides to stay with the current design and takes their chances that they can plead their case to the inspectors and prevail. If you loose this point at inspection, you will have a nasty day Thursday trying to Kluge up a fix in the pits. Our team has been there done that. I don't want to experience it again. Those who where there on our team now take a very Conservative view to the rules.
