It is armour. If it was removed robots with spinning weapons (or any other type of offensive weaponry) would find it a lot easier to hit your batteries/wheels, therefore it is protecting them to a degree, and therefore it is armour.
Personally I have no trouble with this type of armour, however if the rule from http://windisch.co.uk/robots/provisiona ... 4.0.02.htm saying 'Armour consisting of one continuous metal plate must not protect more than one third of the robot?s perimeter (welded plates will be considered as a continuous metal plate).' was implemented, then that armour would be disallowed, since it definatly encompasses more than one third of the perimeter.
