Re: T-Boning a Rhino Track Drive

I think that G24 notice would make a good Q&A question. While I'm not a ref (so my opinion has no standing at all), it seems to me that G24 is aimed at robot mechanisms extending past your own frame perimeter and inside another's. For the bumpers to extend into someone else's frame perimeter seems to me something that could happen quite regularly with normal game play. The intent of the bumpers is that they are what makes contact between your robot and another - if someone's frame is lower than your bumpers, is it really your fault of your bumper intrudes an inch or two in that situation?
