Can a frame with attached bumpers articulate to repel other robots and/or the arena, as long as the bumpers stay within the bumper zone and the robot within the sizing box?

Can a frame with attached bumpers articulate to repel other robots and/or the arena, as long as the bumpers stay within the bumper zone and the robot within the sizing box?

Re: Articulating Frame
Yes, as long as all parts of the articulated system remain within the volume limitations specified in Rule <R11> and the BUMPERS remain within the BUMPER ZONE. Note that such a system will result in a dynamic definition of the Bumper Perimeter Polygon. All parts of the ROBOT must remain within the vertical projection of this polygon at all times, no matter what size or shape it may be. Also, if the repulsion system results in any damage to other ROBOTS and/or the ARENA, appropriate PENALTIES may be assessed.
