Re: Angled Bumpers
I think what you are asking is.
Can we angle the bumper at the opening to the intake to help game elements funnel into the robot / intake system?
I believe this rule answers this scenario.
I am paraphrasing....
R29.
BUMPERS must be constructed as follows .
a) backed by 3/4" robust wood.
&
c)stacked pair of 2.5" pool noodle
Having an angle at the bumper opening will no longer provide the 2.5" of pool noodle required..
Of course keeping in mind all the other bumper rules including those mentioned above.
Good luck this season
Aloha!
