R23 and Climbing
 
I Need clarification on the bumper rule R23 and how it relates to climbing. If a robot climbs up the rope in a way that it tips the robot vertically to where the bumpers are perpendicular to the floor instead of parallel, does that violate the rule?

No it does not, read the blue box below R23

This measurement is intended to be made as if the ROBOT is resting on
a flat floor (without changing the ROBOT configuration), not relative to
the height of the ROBOT from the FIELD carpet. Examples include:
Example 1: A ROBOT that is at an angle while navigating a ROPE has
its BUMPERS outside the BUMPER ZONE. If this ROBOT were virtually
transposed onto a flat floor, and its BUMPERS are in the BUMPER
ZONE, it meets the requirements of R23.

R23. BUMPERS must be located entirely within the BUMPER ZONE, which is the volume contained
between the floor and a virtual horizontal plane 7 in. (~17 cm) above the floor in reference to the
ROBOT standing normally on a flat floor. BUMPERS do not have to be parallel to the floor.

This measurement is intended to be made as if the ROBOT is resting on
a flat floor (without changing the ROBOT configuration), not relative to
the height of the ROBOT from the FIELD carpet. Examples include:
Example 1: A ROBOT that is at an angle while navigating a ROPE has
its BUMPERS outside the BUMPER ZONE. If this ROBOT were virtually
transposed onto a flat floor, and its BUMPERS are in the BUMPER
ZONE, it meets the requirements of R23.

Example 2: A ROBOT deploys a MECHANISM which LIFTS the
BUMPERS outside the BUMPER ZONE (when virtually transposed onto
a flat floor). This violates R23.

I believe this rule only applies to when the robot is on the ground.

Thank you for the clarification!
