Re: Non-level bumpers
I don't believe the GDC changed their mind between last year and this year. Nothing I've read indicates that the 2013 bumper rules permit angled bumpers. I think the Lead Robot Inspectors who gave angled bumpers a pass last year were not interpreting the rules the way they were intended. Since it was in teams' favor to accept that interpretation, nobody went up the chain of authority to get an ultimate ruling, and the LRI's word was final.
The answer from the GDC this year is clear: bumpers should not be angled. It's basically the same answer they gave last year, with the addition of the explicit "no".
