Fasteners extending outside the FRAME PERIMETER

I like drifting, but I have to go WRC. Putting a car where it doesn't belong feels right, like combining together drill motors and power window motors and putting them on a big patch of carpet. - Billfred [more]

They want a mushroom bot, except they don't... The thing is, the mushroom pileus (cap) HAS to be the frame perimeter, not something above. Either way, you have a mushroom bot, only one of them being legal. Anyway, that fungal reference is in a blue warning box and, as stated at the top of the manual, they don't have the weight of a rule and, whenever contradicting a rule, are void.
