If I could direct you attention to this thread. That rule also says for it to be visible for 100ft away but if your ball pick up is blocking that number, then you wouldn't even be able to see the numbers for 2ft away. Violating rule R35. Don't get me wrong I like your robot. Just asking a question.

If another robot or the bridge is in the way you won't be able to see the numbers from any distance so it shouldn't matter if an appendage comes down and blocks the numbers.

The numbers are on the bumpers in the correct places, in the correct orientation, and the correct size. It shouldn't matter if something from the robot comes down and blocks the numbers, there are 3 other places on the robot that are easily seen even when the intake is down. No where in the rules does it state that the appendage can't block the numbers on the bumpers, so there is no problem (that is until the GDC goes and changes the rules just like they did with the bridge).
