Bumper problems during a match = penalty?!?!

I'm not sure of the exact specifics of the penalty (since it wasn't on us) but I heard a penalty being called 2 times for a bumper being outside the bumper zone on a robot in NYC. (ie: The bumper was above or below the horizontal plane height limits)

I can only assume the bumper became a problem during the match because of 2 possible scenarios.

1) It wasn't in the bumper zone to begin with to start the match, & in my understanding of the rules, the robot should not have passed inspection & never been allowed on the field - The penaties were both called on the last day of the event for reference.

2) It fell out of the bumper zone during the match, thus was dragging on the foor, & because of that, the robot should have been disabled by a ref, & not penalized - or just given a yellow card, or given both a yellow card & disabled in the match.

I only bring this up, since this was a strange ruling (in my opinion - one I hadn't heard called before) & wanted to see what the rule interpretaion was by others.
