Re: Beware of R16 your robot design may be too big.
Quote:
<R13> For the purposes of determining compliance with the weight and volume limitations specified in Rule <R11>, these items are NOT considered part of the ROBOT and are NOT included in the weight and volume assessment of the ROBOT:
• Any STANDARD BUMPER assemblies included on the ROBOT that are in
compliance with Rule <R08>, up to a maximum of 15 pounds

However, for all other purposes the items listed above are considered part of the ROBOT and must comply with all other applicable rules and requirements.
I think this means that bumpers don't count towards it.

Edit: you're right, I don't see it talking about R16 in here, just R11, I just assumed. Lets see if they give us a rules update.
