Re: Bumper "Side" Clarification

If your bumper is at 4", then your bumper would cover the 4.0"-8.5" zone (5" high bumper +/- 0.5")

If another robot's bumper is at 12", then their bumper would cover 7.5"-12.0" zone.

Thus, in a worst case scenario, there is 1" of bumper overlap for the robots to encounter each other.
