Re: FAQ for Q&A

What are the exceptions for objects/manipulators passing through the Bumper Zone?:

a) Is it legal for an arm to enter the bumper zone and not be protected by bumpers

b) Assuming (a) is legal, what if the object entering the bumper zone is not intended to manipulate a game piece (ex. wheels to support a larger structure which deploys from the starting configuration at some point during the match)

I (and a few other people here) have not found any rules that grant exceptions for manipulators (or anything else) to enter the bumper zone without bumpers appearing out of thin air.

Also #9 was addressed in TU#1 as well (it does not)
