How much ground clearance should I make it? Im thnking 1 inch so the bumbers are even with bottom or robot. Should it be loweror higher?
1" is probably fine. The bumper rules will usually reflect the sort of field the game is played on -- so if the field is largely flat or if it has only gentle inclines, the typical 1"-7" bumper zone will work fine. If robots are expected to navigate steeper ramps, additional ground clearance is required and the bumper zone will reflect that.
