Re: bumper design

You need 8 inches (or more) of bumper on either side of each vertex. If you have a U robot with an opening in the front, you'll have 8 inches of bumper on each side of your front edge, and you need support on both ends - you can't just have 2 inches of bumper hanging into your opening with no support behind it.
