Re: Power Bumpers

Taggin along on Mike's post, ask the Q&A as their answer is the only official one. However, bumpers mounted on parts of the robot that move must still be within the size limits at it's maximum size. If the robot is less that 28x38x60 and the bumper is firmly attached to a robot that grows in size but does not exceed the stated dimensions, it is possible that such a robot might be legal. Of course everything is subject to the inspection process as pointed out. Of particular note, is that any contact with the bumpers must occur in the bumper zone and
<R06>
ROBOTs must use ROVER WHEELS (as supplied in the 2009 Kit Of Parts and/or their equivalent as provided by the supplying vendor) to provide traction between the ROBOT and the ARENA.
