- Added clarification in blue box of R02 that “The allowance for minor protrusions in R02 is intended to allow protrusions that are both minor in extension from the FRAME PERIMETER and cross sectional area.”

Perhaps my favorite edit in a while:
FIRST maintains a culture where concerns about safety, comfort, and fairness can be raised and addressed. If anyone states that they feel threatened or uncomfortable because of verbal abuse, inappropriate contact, or other negative behaviors that are not in the spirit or event rules of FIRST, we ask that you complete a Non-Medical Incident Report to formally document the event.
This form may also be used to report witnessed violations of any rules in this section, such as the rules against seat saving or throwing objects from seating areas. The fastest and easiest way to resolve such issues is often to have a friendly conversation with the individual or individuals engaging in the behavior. It’s very possible they are not aware of the rule being violated.
