We were debating bumpers on an relatively L-shaped robot on a different thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=110770
Any more interpretation on the 'no bumpers needed' comment with regards to the posts on the thread?

On topic though, my team was (jokingly)thinking of making a cube that sits there and then climbs. It would be interesting, although you'd have to be able to touch your pyramid so you don't get bumped out of position without consequence.
