I see a flaw with this rule <g21> and the allowed bumper design <r35>.
the bumpers are allow to be 3.5 inch extended out from your robot and if
you are a ball dumper and you put bumpers on the side with your ball loader/unloader you have a piece of your robot that can easily protrude
pass the 3" zone. This is even more if you take the fact that you are
on a ramp. The field's designed buffer zone conflicts with the allowed
robot design making a DQ very harsh under those conditions and really
cramps the style of the ball dumpers because they will be forced to
remove their front bumpers.
