OK. Now I think I understand your point. Are you saying that a mechanism or appendage can extend into the bumper zone with surfaces that are more than 10 degrees from vertical and not violate <R04> per se, but that same mechanism or appendage (having been passed by the inspector) might later be determined by a referee to have become a wedge, based on how it interacts with other robots?

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.
