I may have misspoke. I heard the bumper system that was employed in the 2012 robot (with the extended frame) was a design that they were not going to keep for next year's robot, as there may be other "better" ways of mounting. It does look like a very quick and easy bumper system. I would definitely like to hear from some of the mentors on 254 pitch in to this thread directly.
I have designed the extended frame on solidworks, and from my dimensioning, I do not think that system would work for a robot with 6" (or larger) Wheels or so. I know that, for this coming season, we are going to definitely prototype this system and see how it works for us.
