Um ... I don't get it. Yes, the pivot point is at a fixed hight, but, without active articulation, doesn't the bumper frame pivot like a seesaw on that pivot point? And is there some rule that I missed that makes that legal?

I'm sure you guys have already figured this out, I'm just trying to catch up.
