Re: wedge as part of bumpers

that depends what the wedge is attached to - if it is a permanent part of the ROBOT, then yes. If it's . Part of the bumper, then no. This is the same way that brackets or the optional aluminum angle on top/bottom of the bumper (as illustrated in figure 4-7) does not count towards your frame perimeter.

This really is just a question as to what constitutes a legal fastening system, and are features that do not impact how "rigidly attached" the bumper is legal?
