Rule <G32> states that contact outside the bumper zone is illegal, but if the piece of the robot that extends outside the bumper zone (such as a dumping mechanism) does not make contact with another robot or trailer, wouldn't it still be legal, given the robot remains within the specified dimensions?

The following under <G32>
Quote:
D. Contact with a tilted or tipped ROBOT outside the BUMPER ZONE (particularly by the
BUMPERS of the contacting ROBOT) will generally be considered incidental contact and
will not be penalized.
E. Contact outside of the BUMPER ZONE is not acceptable, and will result in a PENALTY.
The offending ROBOT may be disqualified from the MATCH if the offense is particularly
egregious or if it results in substantial damage to another ROBOT.
F. A ROBOT may not attach to and/or climb onto a ROBOT or TRAILER. Doing so will be
interpreted as an attempt to damage an opposing ROBOT, and will be penalized as
such.
