For those who may not have seen the relevant conversation on the vex discord, Robosource.net just updated their website with a new size that is legal.

Kevin from Robosource said that this new number is more accurate and the “0.18” figure was due to rounding:

As it seems that this may have been an intentional rules change from vex:

I wonder if vex might further reduce the limit for some reason. I have no idea why they would want to disallow Robosource shoulder screws but this wouldn’t be the first rules change with unclear reasoning.

Just to confirm:

Measured about a dozen, 10 within allowable size, others due to tolerance but they’re probably fine - vex tolerances are much worse than this.
