Re: Reusing brackets of Last Year's FRC Bumpers on this Year's FRC Bumpers

Hold on there. I'm not so sure the answer is that simple. Bumpers are clearly not part of the ROBOT as they don't count in the weight limit, nor are they required to be bagged.

If the brackets are attached to the robot frame and not the bumpers, then R13 comes into play. If the brackets are part of the bumper assembly, they're probably ok to use (See R20). To wholesale apply R13 to all bumper parts means that teams are not permitted to use the same set of bumpers from year to year. Several teams would be in violation of this rule if applied this way. I suggest submitting a Q&A on this one.
