Re: Angled Robot
R2: The ROBOT must have a FRAME PERIMETER, contained within the BUMPER ZONE, that is comprised of fixed, non-articulated structural elements of the ROBOT.

If your drawing is your starting configuration, then your wheel needs to wrapped by fixed structural elements, which would constitute your frame perimeter, and that perimeter would need to be protected by bumpers.

If your large wheel could start inside of your frame perimeter (composed of fixed non-articulated structural elements) and after the match starts extend past your frame (by not more than 15"), then using a large wheel system would be fine.
