Re: Bumpers

You need 8 inches on each side of each exact vertex. Overlapping the bumpers by 3 inches does not count toward the 8 inches.

For example, on a 28 inch long side of your robot, you would need 8 inches of bumper on each end, thus reducing the possible opening by 16 inches, leaving you with a 12 inch maximum opening.
