Al's Annual Inspect before you ship! and What To Expect at Your First Event thread.

[Kims Robot]

Al, great reminders

Are they going to post the inspection checklist here before ship?

Kinda seems pointless to post it up there after ship (or at least makes the Thursday inspections MUCH slower).

I hit post too fast...
Had one question, from the definition of FRAME PERIMETER:

Note: to permit a simplified definition of the FRAME PERIMETER and
encourage a tight, robust connection between the BUMPERS and the FRAME PERIMETER, minor
protrusions such as bolt heads, fastener ends, rivets, etc are excluded from the determination of the
FRAME PERIMETER.

(bolding mine)

Is this the same:

The FRAME PERIMETER is defined and nothing can extend beyond the perimeter outside of the bumper zone. Bolt heads, fasteners and axle shafts are include in the must not extend list.

Al, if I read your post, you are saying bolt heads cannot extend outside the frame perimeter, but I thought thats what the team update said was specifically allowed?
