Re: Bumper question

This question may not be 100% relative to the other questions and comments in this thread but it does relate to bumper rules so I figured this is as good a place as any.

What advantages do you really gain from putting more than the required amount of bumpers on robots?

Lets say that in a normal drive configuration my wide left side is all frame but meets the minimum bumper requirements. This will help 3 robots fit on the bridge!! Since all corners need to be protected frame on frame collisions should be minimal. If an opponents bumper intentionally touches a robots frame perimeter that is not covered in bumpers is that a technical foul?

Idk I guess I just don't see a reason why you would want more than the minimum this year...
