This is true in most cases but, I saw many robots drive into the opening of a ball feeded mechanism device on another robot with their corners.

My question to everyone would then be:
If Redabot drives into Blueabot's Bumper Perimeter because of a void in Blueabot's bumpers where a ground feeder device is located, & something on Redabot which is within Redabot's own Bumper Perimeter gets entangled on Blueabot because each robot's Bumper Perimeters now overlap each other, then who is to blame??
