I agree with Gary's comments here."Too Many Bumper Rule Threads"

Taking a year off from bumpers created a knowledge gap.

I have not seen Al's inspection thread yet, but I am sure it will clarify the rules.

A possible solution would be that bumpers be included in the KOP and you need to design your robot to fit them.
I like the idea of a bumpers subforum with stickies answering FAQs about bumpers each year and pertinent changes year-to-year. Although much of the problem with people posting threads about bumpers constantly is that they don't read as thoroughly as they should anyway.

Defined bumpers to fit your robot doesn't sound fun though.
