Who's to say who is making contact if both robots are moving?

If we take Gary's interpretation, then it seems as if all of those robots with openings in their bumpers and chassis to allow game pieces in are potentially allowing for contact outside the BUMPER ZONE and inboard of the BUMPER PERIMETER - especially if the other robot has no superstructure at it's extreme edge.

That'd make 80% of the robot designs that have been shared on CD penalty-prone.

I think that iCurtis has it right - <G32C> doesn't say anything about the other robot's BUMPER PERIMETER.

Or am I being a lunatic here?
