bumper munipulation rules

[ABraverMan]

can we open the bumper in the middle of the game?

[IndySam]

No

B. The BUMPERS must be located entirely within the BUMPER ZONE when the ROBOT is standing normally on a flat floor, and must remain there (i.e. the BUMPERS must not be articulated or designed to move outside of the BUMPER ZONE).

[ABraverMan]

is that so, bummer
