Re: Legal Bumpers?

It appears from your drawing that the ends of the "U" of your frame are 8 inches wide. If so, you will be OK.

To put it simply, at every exterior corner of your robot, the frame must be protected by the Bumper for 8" on both sides of the corner.

Is there a reason that you don't have a bumper all the way across the back of your robot? It's free weight, and it will help protect you. But if there's some strategic reason for leaving the gap, you are allowed to do so as long as you comply with the 8" rule at every corner.
