Re: Slanted Bumper Ends

I'm sorry for not being clear, I believe that my question is being misunderstood. We do not intend to use the bumpers as a frisbee funnel or any actively functional purpose. We want to create a gap in the frame that will straddle a pyramid corner. With the bumpers protruding straight out from the frame the actual "usable area" of that gap will be significantly reduced because the angle will be cut off by the 3" of bumpers that stick out.

We would still have 8" of bumpers from the corners and support it legally. It would also still cover all parts of our robot that need to be covered, but we just aren't sure if slanting the ends in to create something that looks like a funnel would be legal.

Thank you!
