Re: [YMTC]: Is robot debris still part of the robot?
When the bumper falls off, the fallen off part is no longer a bumper. The rule is that a robot will be disabled if it no longer meets the bumper rules. In theory, a robot could loose a non critical section of the bumper while still maintaining 8 inches on each corner, thus not be disabled.
In ruling whether it is a climb, I am not sure if you would look at just the remaining bumpers, or where the bumper would have been. I think the former.
