Re: Are detachable bumpers necessary?
On top of what has already been mentioned, please consider how your robot will fit through doorways with bumpers on. There are multiple events (especially districts) where you will have to fit through a regular door. There may also be post season impacts if you're using your robot for demos. Being able to pull your bumpers off isn't only legally required, you may want to be able to do it quickly and easily for transportation.
