Re: Bumpers

BUMPER PERIMETER – the polygon defined by the outer-most set of exterior vertices of the
BUMPERS when they are attached to the HOSTBOT. (To identify the BUMPER PERIMETER,
wrap a string around the BUMPERS at the level of the BUMPER ZONE - the string describes the
polygon.)

BUMPERS must provide complete protection of the entire FRAME PERIMETER of the
ROBOT (i.e. BUMPERS must wrap entirely around the ROBOT). As part of the 100%
coverage, BUMPERS must protect all exterior corners of the FRAME PERIMETER. For
adequate protection, a full segment of BUMPER must be placed on each side of the corner
(see Figure 3-2).

Those right there answer the question. They must cover the entire perimeter.
