I had assumed yes, but now I think no because the entire robot side will hit the wall.

Wait, no, this doesn't say anything about the bumper zone only hitting the the wall, just the FRAME PERIMETER. But wait didn't the definition of the FRAME PERIMETER include the BUMPER ZONE...
FRAME PERIMETER – the polygon defined by the outer-most set of exterior vertices on the ROBOT (without the BUMPERS attached) that are within the BUMPER ZONE
Yes, it does.... But then, that push against the wall bit was in a blue box so perhaps it doesn't really apply... ...except there is another blue box tha says something about No Mushroom bots -- which is crazy because to me a short robot with the FRAME PERIMETER extending out beyond the edges of the lower robot is almost exactly what I would think of when you say "Mushroom bot" but it is in a rule saying that this is NOT what you want...

....I am totally confused.

It is late, I will see things clearly in the morning.

Perhaps the GDC is taking a lesson from the ancient Chinese. Inscrutability lends the impression of wisdom, and disguises folly.
