R12 - includes bumpers?

[Gary Dillard]

I figured this was important enough to start a new thread rather than add to the other 72 x 72 threads. I posted this in Q&A yesterday so we'll see what the GDC has to say.

Does the R11 exclusion for the bumper dimensions which applies to R07 envelope requirements also apply to the R12 72 x 72 envelope?

If not, be sure you include your bumpers in your calculations of your arm extension allowable length.

I could see them going either way on this - you don't want to penalize teams for using bumpers, but you want to maintain everyone's maximum footprint the same.
