For a forkilift do what my team did in OverDrive... the two bottom fors were spring loaded to et them inside the bumper zone and went over the bumbers to have it flat on the ground.here are some pictures... look at before the match, and uring the match to see what i mean a botu spring loaded (orancge covers were spring on outside of white tubing)

so we have to start inside the frame perim, but after the match starts we can unfold stuff to pretty much go over the bumpers, correct? (thus making them pointless..)

Have you read the rest of the rules?

[Brandon_L]

Most of them..
then you start thinking of designs and they get overcomplicated by so many rules haha

Since you are calling it a lift, I'm going to assume that you then plan on lifting it up. In that case, once you lift it up, any collisions that you would have would be with the bumpers, not your frame. So they are not entirely pointless.

Also, this is a challenge that ALL TEAMS must overcome or deal with in some way, so it is not as though you are at a disadvantage because of the rule. There just need to be ways to make your ideas or ideas you have not yet thought of work with the placement of the bumpers.
