    Default Bumper protection for interior corners?

    If there is a rectangular notch cut out of the chassis of the robot, in order to obey the "I. BUMPERS must protect all exterior corners of the BUMPER PERIMETER (see Figure 8 -
    2)", does the 6" minimum peice of bumper need to extend inside the notch to protect that side of the corner?

    Default Bumper Confusion

    On figure 8-2 (overhead view) it shows a robot with an opening with no bumper, but with

    3. Rule <R08-i> requires BUMPER protection on every exterior corner of the BUMPER PERIMETER. If the corner is an interior corner (e.g. does not form a vertex of the BUMPER PERIMETER) then protection on both sides of the corner is not required.

    The rule says that an inside part that connects with the outside polygon perimeter must have a bumper.... please clarify does the inside part of the robot opening need a bumper as stated by the rule or does it not need a bumper as shown in figure 8-2 of the robot section of the manual

    An "exterior corner" of the ROBOT is one where the BUMPER PERIMETER forms a vertex. An interior rectangular notch in an otherwise straight side of the ROBOT would not form exterior corners. Thus, these corners would not be covered by Rule <R08-I>.
