The point I was trying to make was that even when the bumper and the structure comprising the frame perimeter are rigidly attached to each other (as the rules require), that frame-bumper assembly can be articulated with respect to some other parts of the robot. That's non-controversial when we're talking about articulation of the frame-bumper assembly relative to arms and shooters (or perhaps we would ordinarily call it articulation of arms and shooters relative to the frame-bumper assembly—technically, they're the same thing). But when we talk about articulation relative to drivetrains, the perception is frequently different. I that difference in perception is, strictly speaking, unfounded.
