R407      *BUMPER weight limit. Each set of BUMPERS (including any fasteners and/or structures that attach them to the ROBOT) must weigh no more than 15 lbs. (~6 kg).

If a multi-part attachment system is utilized (e.g. interlocking brackets on the ROBOT and the BUMPER), then the elements permanently attached to the ROBOT will be considered part of the ROBOT, and the elements attached to the BUMPERS will be considered part of the BUMPER. Each element must satisfy all applicable rules for the relevant system.
