-Can extend 20 inches beyond frame in-game but not in the starting configuration
Safety: Has to be safe
Budget:
-Total not including Kit of Parts(KOP) must be less than $4000
-No individual Component can cost more than $400
Bumpers:
-Must go 8 inches out
-Must cover all outer corners
-Bumpers have to cover our frame perimeter, meaning a U shaped robot has bumpers over its gap (and that gap actually can't be greater than 8 inches)
-Other random rules. 2 sets of bumpers (one red, one blue). Must be under 20 pounds. Team numbers on them. etc.
Lists of allowed motors, actuators, circuits
The line in bold is incorrect. The height limit (outside of the GOALIE zone) is 5 feet, or 60 inches. Showing up with a 6' high robot would be a tragic mistake.

-the ROBOT height may not exceed 60 in., except as allowed by G23.
-Any extension above 60 in. may not exceed a 6 in. diameter vertical cylinder (see Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4 for examples), per G23.
Other than that, Great summary!
