Re: pic: Legal Bumper Configuration?

My interpretation of the rules would say this design is legal, but that's not to say my interpretation is what the GDC has in mind. When they say the corners must be protected, protect it how? Protect it from contact intiated from which direction? And what defines a "corner?" What if a robot has curved "corners"? How much does it need to be curved before it is no longer a corner?
