Can the robot extend outside of the bumper zone.

As I told my friend Joe Johnson, just because you aren't around as much doesn't mean that you can just close the book on this chapter, instead - just keep a book marker in this place, so you can remember how to find your way back home - when the time is right. - meaubry [more]

I assumed the answer was yes, but had read somewhere that you couldn't. Sorry if this question was already answered.

The somewhere in this case is Update #1. The answer given is No.
