Re: Bumper Rules on a U Bot Chassis

Please read the bumper rules carefully. The bumpers sit along the FRAME PERIMETER, not just the chassis. The FRAME PERIMETER for a U shaped robot is a rectangle - there is no opening or gap in the FRAME PERIMETER. You cannot have "internal bumpers"- they are not bumpers at that point, but part of your robot.

You will need to extend your frame another 3" into the opening of the U in order to get 8" of bumper properly mounted from each corner.
