Re: 2012 Bumper rule gray area

Rich,
Bumpers are inspected when the robot is on the floor. That is the only logical way to look at them. If a robot turns over, the bumpers do not become illegal simply because they exited the bumper zone.

[R29]
Bumpers must be located entirely within the Bumper Zone when the Robot is standing normally on a flat floor.
