Re: Bumper Question

Q,
openings into the Frame Perimeter are allowed if all other rules are in compliance. If your robot Frame is 28" wide, an opening in that width can be as large as 12" wide while still meeting the 8" minimum rule. However, do not forget that bumpers can be anywhere in the 2" to 10" above the floor. That leaves several inches under the bumper without needing an opening in the frame.
