Re: Rules Concerning Extending Parts Outside the Frame Perimeter

However, if a robot passes inspection with a volume GREATER than the frame perimeter (ie with a robot part extended past the bumpers), then, after the beginning of a match, said robot can extend past the frame perimeter so long as it doesn't pass the volume in which it has passed inspection.
The frame perimeter isn't defined by the robot's bumpers; the bumpers attach to the frame. Extensions will always be able to extend to the outside edge of the bumpers, since by definition the bumpers are within the inspected volume. If the bumpers are smaller than that volume, then extensions will be able to go past the outside edge of the bumpers.
