Re: bumper design

But you might find that even with the bumper in the way, your robot will still be able to get balls that the bumper drives over....if the bumpers are up as high as they can be, and are covered with the suggested type of heavy cordura cloth.

So you might think about trying to make a wider "funnel" behind and below the bumper, to help you get the balls to where they need to go.
