Re: frame perimeter

You can make whatever shape robot you want. As long as it follows the bumper rules set out in 4.3.2 of the game manual.

Take note of the definition of FRAME PERIMETER

Quote:
FRAME PERIMETER – the polygon defined by the outer-most set of exterior vertices on the HOSTBOT (without the BUMPERS attached) that are within the BUMPER ZONE.
Quote:
To determine the FRAME PERIMETER, wrap a piece of string around the HOSTBOT at the level of the BUMPER ZONE - the string describes this polygon.
Note: to permit a simplified definition of the FRAME PERIMETER and encourage a tight, robust connection between the BUMPERS and the FRAME PERIMETER, minor protrusions such as bolt heads, fastener ends, rivets, etc are excluded from the determination of the FRAME PERIMETER.
Taken from the definitions, page 8 of the competition manual.
