Yeah, sure. You go ahead and don't count your bumpers in your WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE, and show up with 30 lbs of stuff plus bumpers, and see if you're deemed legal to compete...
From <R33> "All other FABRICATED ITEMS to be used on the ROBOT during the competition..."
Are bumpers used on the robot?
Did the actual rules, plus the Q&A clarification, somehow make this unclear?
Bumpers count toward your WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE, plain as day. No amount of rules lawyering or pleading will make it otherwise.
