FIRST answered a question today and said that bumpers may not move vertically; that they may only move horizontally and stay in the bumper zone. Other Q&A answers state that there may not be notches or cut-outs, only complete vertical cuts. These rulings will make it difficult have bumpers and also go up the ramp. The weight allowance and contact rule gave great incentive to have bumpers this year. These rulings are taking it away.

I thought I recalled an answer to a prior question that would have allowed bumper movement out of the bumper zone to admit balls or to go up the ramp. I can’t seem to find it now. Does anyone else remember seeing it?
