Re: pic: Ball Harvester

Angled bumper debate aside, wouldn't a design of this type be illegal IF the roller (or parts of it like the pneumatic tubes in this example) touched a trailer? It is my understanding that the ONLY thing the robot is allowed to touch on the trailer is the BUMPER and then ONLY with the BUMPERS of the robot. If an intake roller mounted near the front edge of a robot intake opening touches the trailer (BUMPER or not) isn't it illegal? Due to the height of the BUMPERS (7") and diameter of the balls (~8.5") doesn't this severly limit the placement and design of intake rollers placed near the edge of a robot?
