Al,

As you pointed out: FRAME PERIMETER is defined in reference to the ROBOT and not the STARTING CONFIGURATION, and PLAYING CONFIGURATION does not add any relevant information here.

Not trying to lawyer the rules around, just wondering: do you agree that the wording needs to changed to allow certain designs such as stabilizers and tube pick up from the floor?
