Re: Bumpers

Our frame perimeter is covered bumpers.

Frame Perimeter: Wrap a piece of string around your robot at the level of the bumper zone, the string describes the polygon.

We would argue that having a recess in our frame, because the string does not touch that recessed frame member, that recessed frame member does not have to be covered by bumper.

We aren also basing this judgement off of past bumper rules, being that we only had to cover this bumper perimeter. These definitions are exactly the same as earlier years, and this year's height is identical to the height in the 2008-2009 definitions.
