Go to Post Engineering rules of thumb don't form the garbage that goes into the making of the robot. They take the garbage of the real world and turn it into more pure, if slightly diluted, data. - DampRobot [more]

Also, this condition is significantly different from the concave corners discussion. I agree with you that the rules are the rules, we all just need to understand them. Go to the "is this corner considered protected" thread for a more in depth discussion.

Thanks,

Scott,

I'm not sure what's unclear about "bumper segments". Segments is plural. That implies two bumper segments, which means both sides of the corner.

The odds of that are just about zero. The GDC has stated that they will not comment on the legality of specific designs.
