Re: Are extensions with bumpers after the start of the game legal

From the pictures, it appears the extensions would be down in the bumper zone when deployed. The robot-robot interaction seems like it might be legal, but at the determination of the referees. But as G48 does explain "High speed accidental collisions may occur during the MATCH and are an expected part of LOGO MOTION™. ROBOTS place mechanisms outside of the BUMPER PERIMETER at their own risk; no penalties will be assigned for incidental contact with such extended mechanisms.".
So if one team buids an immovable object which is outside the bumper perimeter it is fair game for another teams unstoppable force.
