Bumper Cover Penalty

Regarding the Bumper Cover Penalty in Section 7- The Game: <G41> in the rule book.

The current language states that “Bumper covers must not detach, even unintentionally, from the ROBOT. Violation: PENALTY.”

However, does detach imply that the cover is fully removed and is a threat to entanglement, or that it is only partially removed? If, perhaps, the cover is ripped or partially shifted, as to expose an underlying color, is the team still penalized?

Thanks for the Help!

Re: Bumper Cover Penalty

I would play it safe and say that if you can see the other color, it's a penalty.

However, I am neither a ref nor the GDC. I'd ask them via Q&A.
