Re: New size/bumper rules that every team should know
<R01> and <R03> do not conflict. <R01> states that the robot must have a FRAME PERIMETER, meeting the fixed, non-actuating, etc. requirements we all know and love. The FRAME PERIMETER is referenced in <G09>, which deals with interactions between robots, <R02>, which states that everything except the bumpers must start (but not necessarily end) the match inside the frame perimeter, and repeatedly throughout the bumper rules, which deal with how the bumpers must attach to and interact with the FRAME PERIMETER. However, <R03>, which deals with the actual size limit of the robot, clearly includes the bumpers in this, and does not reference the FRAME PERIMETER in any way.
