Re: Does <R08> prohibit above-bumper extension?
Please don't build a robot as shown in that CAD model. I would really hate for inspectors to give you the bad news that you'd need to completely rework it for compliance. Even if the Trailer Hitch was located on the Bumper Perimeter, if the trailer were to swing "out" of the robot, the trailer tongue would definitely hit one of the robot's bumpers before making bumper-to-bumper contact. This is clearly in violation of the rules in Rev B of Section 8.
