Re: BUMPER PERIMETER

Instead of a recess on the rear to help protect your trailer, what if you made a hexagonal cutout on the front that would that act as a guide to help your robot more accurately dump into an opponents trailer? Is this allowable? We couldn't find any specific rules against it... you aren't attaching to the trailer, only "fitting" up to it momentarily to dump your moonrocks. Bumpers could line the recess, but they wouldn't count as legal "bumpers" and lessen chances of inadvertant attachment or damage to the trailer. Does anyone know if this would be legal? There is a rule that robots must contact bumper to bumper, but what about the trailer?
