This seems to make at least some types of scaling a disabling offense:
That's a contradiction that needs to be cleared up.
There may have been some comment about an exception to bumper rules while scaling in Section 4.7, but like I said, the admin section 4 is in the new game manual, and I don't have a second copy.

Fairly certain that the way this rule is phrased, it means that your bumpers must stay fairly static relative to the chassis. Basically, if you put a piece of plywood underneath all the wheels(or tread) on the bottom of your robot and consider that to be the floor, your bumpers must stay within the 4-12 inches off of the plywood.
This rule is meant to stop people from making designs that remove their bumpers for any reason. Similar to the height rules that allow for lenience when the robot is not oriented straight
