Yup, we preferred the dumper solution as well but it just didn't work out for us.

We have a 10 pt design already working on a backup robot. I hope we will never have to use it, but it's there in case we do.

We're in the same boat. We've had to redo the CAD 5 or 6 times now with the final design being figured out on a giant sheet of paper Wednesday night and then mostly finished in CAD last night. Each time the design has run into a new issue. Most of the issues have been around either the top box at the top of the pyramid or the dimensions of the robot. The 54" diameter circle is fine, but the maximum size of the robot (112" perimeter) has caused us considerable problems. Additionally, the minimum edge of a bumper being 8" has ruined many of the workarounds. Very tricky problem given the rules.
