If you have your bumper at the top of the bumper zone, then you get to extend 0" below your robot. This is a pretty big blow to some very good balancing strategies. First it was the no suction cups .. now this. FIRST 2 - Innovative Teams 0.
So if i wanted an ramp to extend below [almost touching the floor] the robot but not outside of the frame perimeter and my bumpers are at the max hight. It would be illegal?
