Go to Post At GLR our team only had to deal with a bunch on kids seeing snow for the first time. With all the ensuing snow fights and vainly trying to run up the giant snowy hill behind the arena. - Kevin Sevcik [more]

However, you can have something that goes from within the FRAME PERIMETER (right? The area under the robot, within the inner edge of the bumpers) up to the bumper zone perimeter, for 2 seconds at a time, with a minimum 2 seconds between repetitions.

Simple answer, you can't have anything outside of the bumpers.
Yes and no. If you're in FINALE configuration, you can go beyond the bumper perimeter. If you're in NORMAL configuration, you can't, except as outlined in <G30>.

That's the only way to interpret the rules as a whole, as <R11> bars articulating frames, but <R10> allows expansion beyond the normal configuration, and <G30> governs which reading of the chart in <R10> is applicable.

Simple answer: which configuration are you in and why?
