Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Mike and Corey,
The team update modifies the definition of Frame Perimeter and uses these words...
"minor protrusions such as bolt heads, fastener ends, rivets, etc are excluded from the determination of the FRAME PERIMETER."
It does not modify the sizing rule <R90> nor does it modify the NORMAL CONFIGURATION as it is used in <R10>

<R10> During the MATCH, the ROBOT will assume one of two operating configurations. When in each configuration, the ROBOT shall fit within the limits shown below (note: these limits are defined in reference to the ROBOT, not the FIELD).

NORMAL CONFIGURATION
Max horizontal dimension Rectangular space no more than 28 inches (71.12cm) by 38 inches (96.52cm)
Max Height 60 inches (152.40cm)
Max Weight 120 pounds (54.43Kg)
FINALE CONFIGURATION
Max horizontal dimension 84 inch (213.4cm) diameter vertical right cylindrical volume
Max Height 90 inches (243.8cm)
Max Weight120 pounds (54.43Kg)

So if a robot fastener does not fit within the sizing box which is designed to test the max horizontal dimensions of 28" x 38", the team will need to make some modifications to do so.
