Discussion echoing my thoughts around what does "standing normally" mean. My guess is Q&A will clarify that this will NOT be allowed.

To push the envelope a bit more -- what if I don't actually use legs but what if instead my basic drive train stays on the ground -- but my "perimeter frame" and the attached bumpers is the only part that rises up? How much of the robot is "enough" to raise and not cause issues with an R22 violation?

The liberal definition of "normally standing" would open up all sorts of very grey to egregious interpretations that would potentially allow me to play most of the match with no bumpers in a place where they are useful. For example, could I use my lifting jacks not on the batter to complete a SCALE but instead during a match to lift my robot and allow a ball acquisition mechanism to suck in a ball UNDER my bumpers?
