Re: URGET RULE QUESTION: Bumper Zone

The Blue Box Under R01-2 might help.

Though, that doesn't cover you during acceleration. You could argue that your robot is in a transitory state but it's a little iffy.

Do you have a picture of your robot's drive train? You might be able to do something simple like add a piece of surgical tubing to one of the free floating members to make it less likely to move during stopping and starting. Done right, it shouldn't/wouldn't make a difference in your barrier crossing ability but this is design dependent.
