Answered: <R7-C>: Do standoffs count as fasteners?

@Chuck_Glick

states:

Do standoffs fall under this ruling? and if so, what length would be the max? (6" is the longest currently available via VEX)

No, they do not. This rule applies to screws and nuts, not to standoffs.

@Chuck_Glick

If not, what would be considered “functionally identical” per rule :

Same size, shape, material, and functionality.
