I agree with this. I do not think this was called at either regional we attended. The penalty of being out of the bumper zone and extending before the twenty seconds was called. I think the penalty, to me, means that if there is a part the robot is dragging around with them that is extending beyond the bumper zone and is continuing to score that is a penalty. For example, this weekend there was a team at the Philly regional whose bumper was falling off and flapping around outside of the bumper zone and they were penalized for that and continuing to score, well it was only a one point penalty. Just my two cents here.
