You're just having flashbacks to last year.

Any ways, Thank you to everybody for pointoing out this BEFORE we got to bag n tag or even competition. I remeasured the bumpers today and told my team, as disheartened as we are its good to know sooner then later. It turns out almost all our bumpers are wrong...lol, look forward to the entire robot reveal! with legal bumpers!

First off, glad this got caught in time. Second, thank you for taking it so well and not arguing with everyone about it. It is an honest mistake in reading the rules and you are not the first team to make it.

For our team we have a mostly sheet metal robot, and the front brackets got bent wrong and ended up 7.75 inches. :-(. we ended up cutting out 1/4 inch polycarb and adding it to the end of the plate making it 8 inches long.

I hope you guys can find a similar solution.

Best of luck,

Glad that you are going to get this corrected before the inspectors had to give you the bad news. As a former inspector, I HATED having to tell teams that they need to rebuild the bumpers (how many teams actually bring supplies to rebuild them?).

I am looking forward to seeing your bot at both Arizona Regionals (I'll be the guy scrambling around making sure you are connected to the field)
