<R11> The FRAME PERIMETER must be comprised of fixed, non-articulated structural elements of the ROBOT. The FRAME PERIMETER must remain a fixed, unchanging polygon throughout the MATCH.

The frame behind the bumper follows all the rules of <R11>. We are using the kit frame, the only difference is the drives are attached where the wheels would. Only the suspension articulates. When on level ground The bumper falls with in the 10 to 16 inch height requirments.

Nice picture, but if all the joints are pinned and the struts are rigidly attached to the frame, you are missing a degree of freedom. You may have to include a hinge joint between one strut and the frame.

You can't see it behind the bumper? I'm sure it's there.
