Thank you. Also would you happen to know if the minibot is required to remain at the top? Or can it just hit and drop?

Re: Bumper Height

our team is having the issue of finding the bumper height speculations in the manual can you please tell us where you found this ( we spent close to an hour looking for it)

Re: Bumper Height
 

section 1 of the game manual, the introduction. glossary of terms, definition of BUMPER ZONE.

Re: Bumper Height
 

The words in all capital letters (e.g. BUMPER ZONE) are defined in the Introduction (section 1) of the manual.

My team's design for hanging tube requires having a gap in the outer frame, but after looking in the bumper rules, I found out that "100% of the outer frame perimeter" must be covered by the bumpers. The gap still allows bumpers to be attached to the outer perimeter. Is it legal to have this gap in the bumpers?

Re: Bumper Height
 

100% of the bumper perimeter must be covered. No gaps in the bumpers. Time for a redesign, I guess.

Gaps in the frame, no more than 8" long or no more than 1/4" deep behind the bumpers.
