Re: bumper thoughts

With all the obstacles in this year game that the bumpers can potentially hang on... Robust bumper supports will be particularly important. Dragging bumpers can get your robot disabled for the match.

The rule requiring 2 in of support in the corners is a little perplexing to me. The edge of a box cutter blade is approximately 2 inches long. I would want more than that for a corner support.
