Just to be clear, this is assuming a 36" long robot. If your robot has a shorter wheel base (Which I assume many will), there's more of your robot on the batter and the worse your angle gets. I used 2.5" for my sketch for bumpers for some reason so if you bump my sketch out another inch on the bottom the tolerances are razor thin. Impossible for refs to judge. Terrible Q & A ruling IMO.
