Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER

[martin417]

I plan to have this question posted on the Q&A, but thought I would ask the CD community as well. What do you think?

<R16> During normal operation no part of the ROBOT shall extend outside the vertical projection of the FRAME PERIMETER, except as permitted by Rule <G30>.
Note: This means no “mushroom-bots.” If a ROBOT is designed as intended, in normal operation 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.

In the past, there have been allowances for fasteners, ie: bolt heads, rivets, etc used as fasteners for holding parts of the robot together, have been allowed to extend outside the FRAME PERIMETER. Will that be the case this year, or are teams required to design their robots so that all fasteners are flush with the frame?
