Re: Pic: would this chassis shape be legal?
I didn't interpret the wording of "BUMPERS must wrap entirely around the robot" as "BUMPERS need to cover every surface of the BUMPER PERIMETER". Otherwise, why would they specify the minimum six inch bumper length, and empahsize that every corner needs to be protected? Those rules would be completely redundant and unnecessary, unless they assume people were planning robots less than six inches long.
I took "entirely around the robot" to mean 12 inches of bumper on every side and generally as much around the robot as possible. I'll ask the Q&A of course as I'm in the minority obviously and am probably wrong, and will assume so from now on.
