Re: Bumper question

Close, Nicandy.

Behind the BUMPER plywood, there will be solid parts of your ROBOT backing it up - what we commonly think of as the frame. You can have gaps in that frame this year, but no more than 8" gaps. Bigger than that, the plywood will be much more suceptable to cracking.

Every cross section that you might view of the BUMPER must have plywood, noodles and cloth. Those parts are required for the entire length of the BUMPER segment, with the exception of the soft parts that extend beyond the plywood to protect the corners of your ROBOT.
