We've accumulated 6 pages of bumper rules in the manual. Trust me; yours isn't the only team to have made a mistake with bumpers. It's happened before, it's happening right now, it'll happen in the future. I dream of a day that a first week event can get through inspection day without any bumper violations, but I kind of doubt that's going to happen anytime soon.
I guess we can't blame FIRST for the crazy bumper rules though. At least half are there to eliminate loop holes and sneaky optimizations teams have come up with over the years.
