legality of bolt and screw heads breaking plane of chassis meeting bumpers

[Al Skierkiewicz]

I know that this is a complicated area of the robot rules. You must look at all the rules and the bumpers must satisfy all the paragraphs in R07. Fasteners and bolt heads inside the bumper zone are permitted to extend beyond the FRAME PERIMETER and in R07, par D, holes and pockets are allowed to be made in the backs of the bumpers to facilitate secure mounting of the bumper system. In no configuration may any part of the robot exceed the maximum dimensions of R10 whether that be inside or outside the bumper zone. As pointed out above those fasteners in the BUMPER ZONE that project outside the FRAME PERIMETER are permitted. Similar fasteners projecting the same amount beyond the FRAME PERIMETER but outside the BUMPER ZONE are not permitted.
