Re: Bumpers and the Frame Perimeter
I would have to respectfully disagree with the idea that the wheels have to be within the frame.
They do have to be within the frame perimeter (which is a fictional line found with a piece of string.)
You could have wheels outside the frame as long as your attachments for the bumpers (which could be place above the wheels or between depending on the wheel size) allow for bumpers that are of the correct height, construction and proper support as detailed in the rules.
The frame perimeter doesn't have to have anything in common with the actual
"frame" of your robot...it usually does but it doesn't have to.
Take a look at the West Coast Drives from the past several years...
the wheels are cantilevered outside the "frame"
I think your drawing is pretty good except that the "string" would mean that the corners of your robot would have to have another "stand off" to support the bumpers there also...
good luck!!
