The bottom of your bumpers must be completely above the line.

The front of your robot is currently tilting downwards, (or appears to be in the video) meaning your bumpers in the front will also be titling downwards, (or level if you have them angled in the bumper zone, when the frame is parallel to the ground).

From the video, it looks like a good portion of your frame is already below the line.





That said, I'd love to be wrong.
