Re: Clarification on bumper rule...

R07> Teams are required to use BUMPERS on their ROBOTS.

To achieve this, BUMPERS must be constructed as described below and illustrated in Figure 8 – 1.
A. BUMPERS must provide complete protection of the entire FRAME PERIMETER of the ROBOT (i.e. BUMPERS must wrap entirely around the ROBOT). The BUMPERS must be located entirely within the BUMPER ZONE when the ROBOT is standing normally on a flat floor, and must remain there (i.e. the BUMPERS must not be articulated or designed to move outside of the BUMPER ZONE).

That kind of says it all for your idea. The safest thing is still to post in the Q&A. The GDC is the only body that make an official ruling. It is better to be safe than sorry.
