Bumpers included in the 45 lbs.

[Kpchem]

Eli, if you look above you can see that 4.5.3 R18 states that the battery and related assemblies does not count against the 45 lbs you can withhold. And section 4.1, Rule 5A states that the battery and related assembles do not count towards the 120 lb weight limit.

4.1 R5

The ROBOT weight may not exceed 120 lbs. When determining weight, the basic ROBOT structure and all elements of all additional MECHANISMS that might be used in different configurations of the ROBOT shall be weighed together.

For the purposes of determining compliance with the weight limitations, the items listed below are not included in the weight assessment:

A. the ROBOT battery and its associated half of the Anderson cable quick connect/disconnect pair (including no more than 12 in. of cable per leg, the associated cable lugs, connecting bolts, and insulation) and
B. BUMPERS (including BUMPER covers, if appropriate).
