Re: Bumper Rules

Yes, part of the rules does allow you to stick stuff In front of your bumpers.. That's really not anything new. In my experience, though, it's more likely that your mechanism will get broken off in a collision than damage the other robot. Sticking a "riot shield" outside your bumpers with the intention of negating the benefits of the bumpers and damaging other robots would earn you a G24, though!

Quote:
G24 Strategies aimed at the destruction or inhibition of ROBOTS via attachment, damage, tipping, or entanglements are not allowed.
Violation: FOUL and YELLOW CARD. If harm or incapacitation occurs as a result of the strategy, RED CARD

Blue Box:
Initiating deliberate or damaging contact with an opponent ROBOT on or inside the vertical extension of its FRAME PERIMETER is not allowed.
