JYH, I can't tell the scale in your picture, but I must say that I'm concerned your frame and bumper might not be legal. How long is the frame on each side of the opening, and how wide is the opening itself? It looks to me like your bumper is 8" long measured on the outside, and only about 6" long on the frame. You must have 8" of frame from each corner, and 8" of bumper covering it, per [R27] and [R33]. The bumper in the corner region doesn't count toward the 8".

I hope I'm just misjudging the scale in your picture, and your robot is perfectly legal. But since it doesn't look that way to me, it would be unkind of me to not say anything. What I can see of your robot looks sharp, and I wish you the best of luck!
