Re: Bumper Backing Question

Rich,
The supported/backed by frame and the gap rules are simply to prevent bumper failure. Larger gaps and no support lead to bumper failure as Jon stated above. As inspectors we want you to play in as many matches as you want. If your bumper system fails, other damage to the robot is likely. We want you to play.
