However, not being able to read the minds of the GDC our team is opting to play it safe and is continuing to design and build our robot such that any contact between our robot and the trailer is bumper to bumper only (as long as the trailer is in it’s normal playing configuration). Does this limit our design possibilities? Probably, but we would rather be safe than sorry. We think we have a pretty good plan though.
Definitely play it cautious if you aren't sure. If nothing else, we showed how the contact rule needs work if they ever try trailers again. I also saw how you came to your conclusions. As it is written, both interpretations are valid without further clarification from above.
