Re: Bumper Rule

That would be correct. As long as the bumpers are in the bumper-zone space, you can put your chassis and effectors wherever you please.
I think the reasoning behind the super-defined bumper zone is to keep all contact at the same level and create a "safe zone" for the more fragile components such as manipulators.
