Re: Robot frame/bumper question

Tristan et al,
I am restating the 2012 interpretation of what defines the opening. If you use the string method then the indent is not on nor does it define the Frame Perimeter. Therefore the indent is not an exterior corner. As Bill Miller explained last year, should a team add something to the indent that is made the same as a bumper, it will not be a bumper and we were not to inspect anything that covered that area. By definition in 2012, only bumpers on the Frame Perimeter are in fact "bumpers". The GDC is the final response in the matter and they of course can change the interpretation for this year. This question needs to be asked in the Q&A.
