Re: Bumper problems during a match = penalty?!?!

I fail to see how tipping would constitute an R11 or R16 violation...those requirements are for the dimensions of the robot. Tipping on the side would not change the orthogonal dimensions of the robot..unless something was sticking out while it tipped... These rules contain NO frame of reference other than the robot itself.

The robot tipped on its side still has the same dimensions it started with and if they were within the sizing box for inspections they should be even if they are tipped on the side.

Now I could see a bumper violation perhaps... because the bumpers would no longer be within 1" and 7" of the floor... and that regulation ( from definitions in 8.1) is defined with respect to the floor.

I fail to see the reason for the rule that allows the "righting of a robot" after autonomous if the intention all along was to penalize that activity.
