Re: legality of bolt and screw heads breaking plane of chassis meeting bumpers
Last time I checked, we are a part of a high school robotics competition meant to inspire young students into science and technology careers. FIRST is a lot of fun and it keeps us all in it.. but that does not mean we should have to deal with rules nobody can comprehend the reasoning behind. I don't blame anyone for being upset about this rule. Saying "I'm sure GDC has a sound backing behind this rule" soothes no one. Fortunately, our robot was relatively simple but I pity teams who have to re-build parts of their robot at the regional... or rebuild an entire robot at regional because of a shipping mishap.

Search is amazing. Give it a try. It's 10,000 lines of code that gets lonely if it's not played with often. - Brandon Martus [more]
