Re: pic: Ball Harvester

Well, were supposed to use a string to figure out our bumper perimeter. So, one interpretation would be that the angled bumpers would not be in the bumper perimeter, therefore you could still have them, but you'd have to consider them part of the robot and weigh them with the robot. But, that won't work either, because it clearly states that the trailer can only make contact with the bumpers, and if it made contact with the inside "bumpers", then that would technically be making contact with the robot. Even though it'd be a soft part of the robot.

So, i am concluding that it is illegal, and very risky to do it since we might have to change it later.
