They are within regulation when it comes to their dimensions and integrity, but they aren't perfectly aligned along their tops (3rd picture best example) and the numbers on a few of them warp slightly downward. Do you think this current setup could cause us any problems at inspections?
Thank you! |
Assuming they meet the 8" rule, are contained fully within the bumper zone, are rigidly mounted to the frame perimeter, and are backed by the structure of the robot in the appropriate placed, they appear fine. You seem to be worried that they aren't perfectly level - note that the last line in R22 states "BUMPERS do not have to be parallel to the floor."
