Re: Are extensions with bumpers after the start of the game legal

Just thought of something. Depending on the GDC's interpretation, you may have a sticking point with <R09>. As others have established, your external bumpers are not BUMPERS, so they wouldn't count as acceptable places to put your numbers. If the flaps are down, they may say that your team numbers on the BUMPERS covered by the flaps are not clearly visible. If you ask the Q&A be sure to do so in very general terms, as if you get too specific they typically say "we cannot comment on a design."

visible from a distance of not less than 100 feet, so that judges, referees, and announcers can
easily identify competing ROBOTS
