See, that's why you inset them a little and trim them to barely long enough to touch the floor. And then assume the refs give you the benefit of the doubt that they're touching. If I have spare time at regionals, I'm probably going to wander around with a bag of zipties and flush cutters and make everyone's lives easier and less stressful.
Also, you forgot that if they extend below the bottom of your wheels at any moment, they're the new bottom of your robot and your bumpers might suddenly be out of the bumper zone.
