Re: [YMTC]: Is robot debris still part of the robot?

Not any different from the 15" rule. If it is attached, it counts. If it unitentionally detaches, it does not.
An interesting case is: Bumper partially detaches, drags for 1 second, and then full detaches. For 1 second, the robot is non-compliant with the Bumper Rules. However, by the time the Ref can disable the robot, it then becomes compliant.
For climbing rule purposes, there is the 5 second rule. So, if the bumper is still moving, the robot has not come to rest. If it detaches, then it is no longer a bumper part.

How would a missing bumper be compliant? As I see it you would go from non-compliant to still non-compliant.
