Re: Thoughts on whether the size change will be permanent?

I think a good and easy rule for bumpers would be to give the inspectors a stick (probably around 12-14 inches or so) and make sure that at all times the stick in a horizontal orientation can only touch bumpers and not frame.

Just thinking about it in my head it seems like it would be a simple easy way to do it and still have the robots protected from collisions. Just my thought as bumpers have always given us trouble like when we had to rebuild them in the pits last year because there was only 7 7/8 of wood on a single one of the pieces (And we has already passed an inspection at anger regional before that).
