...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.

Contact with what? Allied Robots, Allied Trailers, Opposing Robots, Opposing Trailers? The field? Sec. E does not really specify what it's talking about. Also, that still doesn't make it illegal, just dangerous. If the descoring robot is clearly taking measure to avoid illegal contact, they can't be forced into it by another robot for a penalty. I think it needs to be asked, at the very least.
