But as soon as you start restricting its motion from the inside, I'd call that some form of attaching to.


Realistically, I think this will end up in Q&A very quickly. I would expect that the answer would be something to the effect of "As long as no rules on contact outside the bumper zone are violated, it's fine."

Which then means that all one robot has to do to get you in trouble is tangle you up. If it's done enough, you have to modify your design.
