pic: Is this corner considered protected?

Refer back to the string test mentioned in update two.

If you wrap a string around the perimeter of the robot, every point at which the string changes direction is considered a "corner"

Every corner must be protected on both sides by a 6" long bumper segment.

In my mind the angle immediately to the left of the pool noodle you've shown is a corner, and as such the area to the left of that angle and to the right of the trailer hitch mount must be protected by a 6" long bumper segment.

I agree with Cory. I would plan for a 6" bumper on the other side of the corner.

The manual is eally clear on that issue.

Your trailer hitch looks way longer than the spec. Maybe it is an optical illusion, though.

I would have your bumber team take another look at figure 8-4 on page 11 of Section 8, and rule <R08>, Clause O.
