I think you have to look at the context in which the question was asked. The rules look unchanged to me.

They asked if they could use a smaller bumper than the envelope and if it could be positioned at the bottom of the envelope. Answer: Yes and No.

The bumper must fit within the envelope specified by the original rules. If it is smaller, it must be on the centerline of the envelope specified. It must be removable. It must be stationary (and be on a 'fixed' portion of your robot).

The material of the bumper can be anything (I think even stuff not allowed for the rest of the robot), but it counts against you for weight. Anvils are usually very heavy!

Anyway, that's the way I see it. I guess it's not so short and simple after all.
