Al,

I can see situations where the only time certain parts, not limited to bumpers, are mounting on the robot is outside of transportation configuration. The rules allow for pieces to be removed from the robot to make it fit in the TC. If all parts of the robot are to be attached at weighing, the robot should not be expected to be within TC. Simply put, being within the TC and having all parts attached might be mutually exclusive for some robots.
