Re: Legal Bumper Attachment?

Just make sure your brackets extend out to the Frame Perimeter as defined in Rule R01-2 (Team Update 1) since the bumpers must be attached to the Frame Perimeter (Rule 28e) as defined by a string stretched around the corners of the robot. And make sure you have no more than 8 in. wide gaps, particularly over wheels.

As a robot inspector, I would look long and very carefully at your design since I really don't think it meets the spirit of the robot rules for bumpers, though I think it does meet the letter of the law!
