Re: Stabilizer legs

Rad,
There are specific bumper rules that I was referring to. As an answer to your proposal, from R07...
B. The BUMPERS must be located entirely within the BUMPER ZONE when the ROBOT is standing normally on a flat floor, and must remain there (i.e. the BUMPERS must not be articulated or designed to move outside of the BUMPER ZONE). (emphasis mine)
If I understand your statement, you wish to have robot parts extend through the bumper zone, beyond the FRAME PERIMETER but not beyond the maximum PLAYING CONFIGURATION. The above paragraph would prevent that. A robot part that extends but is outside the BUMPER ZONE, does not appear to violate the above paragraph or any other rule at this point.
I recommend that you ask the question of the Q&A when it opens. The GDC is the only one that can provide you with a definitive answer.
