Bumper Length Rules (Another One)...
First, let me apologize for another bumper post. I know there are tons being posted all season, but the rules for bumpers are truly unclear, and my team needs to be 101% sure that our robot is non-compliant before starting a major redesign (at the end of Week 5)
So, the original rule R19 states " If a side is shorter than 8 inches, then the entire side must be protected by BUMPER". See figure 4-3.
In update 5 to the rule book issued on Jan 26, the updated figure 4-3 has three arrows to the figure now instead of two. The middle arrow looks like it is stating that a side less than 8 inches is no longer acceptable? Is this correct?
