Re: Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER

Joe,

Prior to update 6, the fasteners, etc within the bumper zone defined my frame perimeter. After update 6 & 7 they did not. What this means is that all of us who made sure the bolt heads within the bumper zone stuck out more than the bolt heads below the bumper zone to be within the rules are now illegal and it is the start of week 4.

In short, our robot was legal on Thursday, and now it is not. How can you not see a problem with that?

Even more ridiculous, if I have a sheet metal drive base and I have rivets all over it to hold it together, this update makes the rivets below the bumper zone illegal.

Ridiculous
