Relative to your frame perimeter, the bumpers must be in a static position during match play. You can however take the bumpers on or off after matches, or switch the color if you have reversibles, that is allowed.

If you have questions about your specific design, please post pictures and/or descriptions.
Well, we're using hinges at bumper corners to easily put them on, so you could say that they are slightly articulated off the robot. However, when we put them on during the match, the bumpers are perfectly static. Will this pass?
