Re: Bumpers w/pneumatic cylinders

In past years, you'd be moving the bumpers off of the frame perimeter, or expanding the frame perimeter. This would result in gaps in the bumpers' coverage of the frame perimeter, or a violation of mounting rules.

In other words, if the rules don't change on mounting, you're going to be in trouble with the perimeter coverage rules. This is some of what Duke was getting at--<R07-A> in the 2011 rules.
