80" limit and bumpers

[FRC467]

With respect to <R16>, are the bumpers included in measurement to determine if a robot has exceeded the 80" limit? Thanks

As per rule <R16>, robots may not expand beyond an 80" cylinder in their playing configuration. Are the bumpers considered part of the robot in this configuration and therefore must also fit within the 80" cylinder during gameplay?

As we read Rule R18, the ROBOT itself may not exceed the 80" diameter cylinder, because this refers to R11 (STARTING CONFIGURATION), and the Bumpers are allowed to extend outside of the starting configuration per R8, are we correct in assuming the Bumpers ARE NOT included in the 80" cylinder?

As noted in Rule <R13>, Standard Bumpers (and other items such as the battery, etc.) are considered part of the Robot, and must comply with all applicable rules. Based on that, the Standard Bumpers are included when determining if a Robot is in compliance with Rule <R16>.

Does the mandatory bumper count include or exclude the 80" diameter for the robot after the start?

Thanks

The previous answer still applies.
