There's nothing in the rules that says you HAVE to have bumpers!!
If you don't like them, think they're sissy, you don't have to put them on your robot!!
It's simply an OPTION FIRST is opening to teams that may have a disadvantage in experience (aka Rookies) so they have more of a chance and don't get broken robots so easily!
It seems there's just a lot of complaints about bumpers as if they were a requirement... if you can do it without them, more power to ya, but FIRST is just opening more doors...go with it..
