Re: Lesson Learned 2016 - The Negative

Fix the explanation of the bumper rules.

Add an illustration that clearly shows how the dimension of the side of a robot is determined. When explaining to teams, I had to explain how the length of a robot side is determined by FRAME PERIMETER (flip pages to that explanation) then go back to BUMPER RULES to show how a side > 8in must have 8in of bumpers on each corner, BACKED BY PART OF THE FRAME at each end.

One picture of a robot with 6in frame segments with an opening between them (the most common problem I saw) and describing it as NOT LEGAL would have gone a long way to resolve a lot of bumper issues.
