(Emphasis is mine.)

I'm not getting this Al. Why can't I remove my bumpers, store them inside the bot, and transport my bot to the practice field, arena, inspection area, etc. Check the weight & TC volume with the bumpers stored inside the bot, and then put them on if needed for additional inspection, just like I'd put any other attachment on after transporting to the inspection station. Since your quoted rules never mention the word BUMPER, how does your bumper restriction not also apply to any other attachment that must be relocated for transporting?
