Re: Bumper Length Rules (Another One)...
Soohan,

Others have been pretty clear but let me confirm your robot is illegal unless you put 8" of bumper in each corner. There is no gray area.

If the string you wrap around your robot is longer on a side than 8" than you need to have at least 8" on either corner.

So if your side is shorter than 16" then that side needs all bumper.

Sorry but it looks like you need a redesign.

One last thing: the plywood part of the bumper needs to be at least 8".
