Robots arm outside of the bumper

My advisor was wondering a few questions.

What if an arm is outside of the robot's bumper, and it accidently hits another robot on the field for example the opposing alliances robot by turning. Which after hitting it damages the other robot. Will the robot accidently doing this deed would get penalized? If so what kind of penalty red or yellow?

What if the robot did it on purpose?

What if by accident, or by purpose the robots arm gets damage for hitting the other robot accidently, or purposely?

This is sort of puzzling because after the match begins if you have anything past your bumper you increase the risk of damaging parts of your robot.

Lastly on are robot are claw is around 5 feet and is pointed up so we are in the bumper restrictions, but later it rotates to be able to pick up tubes from the feeder. After the rotating of our claw it is out side of the bumper perimeter.
What if a team rams into our robot and hits our bumper 5 feet under our claw will the team get penalized for hitting us?
(Since there inside our frame of the robot)
