Re: <R07>E Bumper clarification
We noticed a similar thing in the part of the rule that states that the bumper backing should be the full length of the perimeter ( Im paraphrasing, its very late and after 20 hours I do that ), so this leads me to believe that the plywood is the same dimension as the robot frame on any side. Further in the rules figure 8-2 describes how the bumpers should meet at corners, so as to not have any gaps is how we interpret this. Our question is it legal if the bumpers dont meet each other in the corners but still have no gaps allowing the robot frame to make contact with anything?
