Because the rules talk about the bumpers needing to be around the perimeter of the robot.
Rule R08-C says corners must be protected by bumpers but it doesn't say the bumper must be physicaly on the corner.
The two short back corners may be a bit harder to work.
But at the front it shouldn't be a problem.
The bumper could be put on the top bar that goes across the opening. If that bumper runs the full width then the front corners can't hit anything before the bumper hits. The bumpers along the sides stop the corners hiting side on.
At the back corners could the the bumper brackets take a form of an "L" ? This is so the bumpers go right to the corner.
This is just off the top of my head. Would my interpretation fit within the rules?  |
No, because the BUMPER ZONE is defined to be from 1"-7" off the ground, which is obviously lower than the top bar. Any BUMPER protruding above or below these height constrictions is not legal a BUMPER.
