Please note, however, that this is specifically for the bumper part of a multi-part attachment system. I would assume that it goes for non-multi-part systems as well, but use caution.

I'm wrong in my previous post, I think. The way I now interpret this is: it depends on what you define as "outside". If it's relative to the center of the robot, my interpretation stands. If it's inside the backing from that point of reference, then it's legal.

The correct interpretation seems to be: if it's inside the perimeter, you're good, otherwise, you're not.
