Re: More than one Bumper?
Last year we were a hair too long (about 1/8" - 1/16"). We were also over weight (though we anticipated this and had a contingency plan). Cutting your robot to fit in the box is not fun. Thankfully a team lent us a portable band saw and made it a lot easier for us. But still not fun. It took us all of Thursday to get everything running properly again.

Case in point, take an inch off in design.
