Re: Two extensions under 14" boundaries

Joe,
The Q&A is only answered by the GDC and no one else. The answers reflect a consensus of the GDC. The Team Updates are in effect changes, additions or modifications of the manual(s) also coming from the GDC and sometimes prompted by input from others or from the Q&A. Team updates in effect will prompt revisions in the manual at some future date. Q&A are usually answers to directed questions that are answered in relation to the current rules as reflected in the manual/team updates. If team makes a design decision based on a Q&A, I expect them to have the documentation to show. Not every volunteer/ref/FTA/inspector will have access to or a hard copy of the Q&A.

In respect to the bumper in the last team update, please note that the bumper zone is referenced to the robot sitting on a flat surface when determining the bumper zone. Additionally, the bumper zone is not checked when a robot is traversing the barrier or the bridges per the latest team update.
