Gus,
The TRANSPORT CONFIGURATION will be determined during inspection at the same time as weight. Under Tournament rule T6 there is no provision for removing bumpers to determine size limits.

T6 While transferring the ROBOT throughout the event (e.g. between the Team’s Pit, Practice Field, ARENA, Inspection Station, etc.), the ROBOT must not exceed a volume that is 28 in. wide x 42 in. long x 78 in. tall (the TRANSPORT CONFIGURATION).
(Emphasis is mine.)

Safety is our prime concern for everyone involved. As such, nothing may cause robot movement until and during the times the robot is enabled by the Field Management System.
