I believe that there is no scale point awarded if a portion of the bumper (even if detached from the robot) is not above the low goal.

An official answer to this would be helpful.
One interpretation would be that a BUMPER (see Glossary) is "a protective assembly designed to attach to the exterior of the ROBOT and constructed as specified in Section 4 (4.7 BUMPER Rules)." A protective assembly that has become detached from the robot's structure/frame no longer satisfies R26, and therefore no longer fits the definition of a BUMPER.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
