Clearing/Kicking Mechanisms?

[dratewka2]

This year our team is considering making a purely defensive robot that can clear tubes across the field with a similar kicker from last years design. We are wondering if anything is allowed to come up from under the bumpers and what rules are in regards to this? Does anyone know if its legal to have part of the robot outside the bumper perimeter like shields etc.

F = Frame B = Bumper K = Kicker W = Wheels

Before Deployment

After/During Clearing/Kicking

Thanks, Team 2625.
