I completely agree, and that's why my conclusion was that i'm wrong and missing something.

Currently the definition of the FRAMER PERIMETER, BUMPER ZONE and <R07>.A (all quoted above) seem to indicate that anything in the BUMPER ZONE would be part of the FRAMER PERIMETER, which would in turn require compliance with the bumper rules.
That would make building a mechanism to pick up tubes from the floor practically impossible.

I'd love to hear the loophole, otherwise i'll probably take it to the Q&A.
I'm sure they will allow pick up from the floor somehow but I think the rules will need to be amended.

maybe the FRAMER PERIMETER is measured only at the start of a match? (i.e. the starting configuration)
