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

Seems like technically, your plan may run afoul of R09:

"Teams shall display their team number on the BUMPERS in four locations at approximately 90° intervals around the perimeter of the ROBOT. The numerals must be at least 4” high, at least in ž” stroke width and in a contrasting color from its background. Team Numbers must be clearly visible from a distance of not less than 100 feet, so that judges, referees, and announcers can easily identify competing ROBOTS"

Two of your numbers on your official BUMPERS will not be clearly visible from 100' during much of the match. Putting extra numbers on the extensions satisfies the goal of the rule, but doesn't really satisfy the rule.

I suppose the same could be said about a typical robot's floor loading mechanism, but that is usually a temporary condition, while yours will be more long lasting, I presume.
