Word of this change needs to be spread more loudly, or many teams are going to have a major issue at competition. Our robot has been driving and picking up balls for two weeks and now we need to widen our chassis. This is a huge waste of time.

I'm currently looking at the rules we printed out on kickoff day, and this rule is unclear. I guess I interpreted the words "side" and "frame perimeter" to mean different things. The frame perimeter was clearly an imaginary line around the robot, but I took "side" to mean a physical side of the robot.

It was especially confusing because the rules say "If a side is shorter than 8 in., the entire side must be protected by BUMPER"

I can take a picture of the old figure 4-3: BUMPER Corner Examples if anyone is interested.
