That means if the articulated wheelbase lowers the wheels, the BUMPER ZONE is measured from those lowered points. Before proceeding with an articulated design, it should be verified with Q&A.

I put in several questions to the Q&A last Thursday, including this one. This is one of two I have yet seen a reply posted against from the GDC.
