Our team is planning on putting an angle on the corner of our robot. We are going to extend the bumper past the angle by roughly three inches from the adjacent side (
http://www.whitebearlakerobotics.com...hassisplan.doc). According to our interpretation of the rules this is legal because:
* All bumper segments are 6” or longer
* We believe that our bumper configuration satisfies the <R08>-I requirements
We would like confirmation from FIRST on the legality of this configuration(but I have been having problems with the
FIRST Q&A.
If this is deemed illegal we would like to put a bumper section on the piece of angle which extends into our robot base. Would this new bumper then be considered part of the bumper zone which nothing could extend over? It is anticipated that the overall configuration of our robot will be a four-sided polygon.

Most of all, I long to give others a chance to experience what I did with FIRST, to give people from my home town that opportunity, because FIRST really is that once in a lifetime opportunity that so many people dont get a chance to be a part of. It shouldnt be that way. - Jacqui Sutton [more]
