Re: Are these bumper configurations legal?

If you would like to know about bumper rules, read Section 8 of the Manual, specifically <R07>, <R12>, and the definitions of Frame Perimeter, Bumper Perimeter, and Bumper Zone in Section 8.2.
I have been out for a while so the bumper rules are a bit new to me.

Is it correct to say that the you imagine that you project the robot top view down to a sheet of 3/4 ply would, cut out that profile and then strung a rubberband around the cutout (along the 3/4" side), then the path of the rubberband would be the path that the bumper would have to take?

Perhaps that is more confusing that it should be but perhaps not.

Thoughts?
