We'll look into it, but we didn't feel that could happen. Also, the poof balls are stiffer than the basketballs. Eitherway, it'd be as easy as slapping a tiny piece of polycarb in front of it to prevent that.

Yeah, we're aware with the bumpers. We are awaiting our "stickers", similar to the one on the Lift's Lexan. But once we have those, they will go on the front of the robot.
