I have spent quite a bit of time since kickoff trying to interpret this particular line of the rules. And I still can't give a good answer to your question. Does the exception line apply specifically only to the protrusions in the bumper zone? Or does it apply in general to the whole robot? I'm hoping we get clarification on this particular item from the GDC in the near future.
Thanks for letting me know that I am not alone!
I also want to thank you for your help other years, your MN SPLASH seminar about inspection taught me so much! You also pointed out this same flaw early in 2010 during the practice day morning! BTW this means you have a fan!
