Re: Blocking your own trailer
Yes. They have stated that the intention of the rule is something along the lines of that "if your robot were to collide with a wall, the bumpers would collide before any other part of your robot would".
Ahh, here we go.
Quote:
The Game Design Committee would like to elaborate on the restriction about robot
size during match play. Specifically, it’s important to read and understand the
statement in Rule <R08>, referring to the bumpers:
“…If implemented as intended, a ROBOT that is driven into a
vertical wall in any normal PLAYING CONFIGURATION will
always have the BUMPER be the first thing to contact the wall.”
This rule restricts any arms, mechanisms, hoods, etc from extending beyond the
BUMPER PERIMETER.
