Re: Openings in the Bumper
We are struggling with the same issue (need an opening for a 10" boulder, don't want the robot to be too wide). I have read and re-read the bumper rules until my head is spinning. Would the following configuration be allowed?

If the angled sections at the front were 8" long, would this meet the 8" bumper segment requirement? If the angled segments were at 45 degrees and the "long" leg of the triangle formed by this were 8" long, then the short side of the triangle is only (approximately) 5.6".
So 5.6" * 2 plus an 11" opening for the ball would have a width of only 22.2 inches.
Would this be legal?
TIA
