Just remove bumper requirements. That should satisfy people. I happen to like the sound of metal bashing metal :) Of course, my former team always uses way too much material and makes the robot an unbreakable tank, so I'm probably biased knowing our robot wouldn't get damaged :D

I'm not, because that presents the opportunity that I need to make them care more!

I'm going to agree with XXShadowXX, and not just so I can sleep easy.
For one, it's mostly FIRSTers causing the spike when Kickoff rolls around. Non-FIRSTers in the search would remain fairly constant throughout the year, only spiking when there's a lot of media attention for something. I think if that were the case, there'd be a much larger spike for the World Championship than for Kickoff.
Also, congratulations to Rochester, NY. I hope you guys know that the Michigan teams are going to do our best to grab those top-ranking spots on Google from you. ::safety::
