Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER

The rule should read like this:
"We're bringing a box with these dimensions. You better be sure ALL of your robot fits in it"

Once again, this issue is NOT ABOUT the sizing box.

This issue could affect a 12"x12" robot. If the frame has an upper level in the bumper zone that is 12"x12" and a lower level that is 12"x12" below the bumper zone any fasteners sticking out of the lower frame are illegal per <R16>.

The very, very bad thing is that if fasteners stick out both inside and outside the bumper zone you were legal before Team Update 6 and now you're not. Making such a ruling at the end of week 3 is frankly unacceptable.
