Re: Angled Bumpers

Solution to avoid all of this: use an intake that extends beyond your frame perimeter and has mecanum wheels or some other way to center balls that are being pulled in. I don't know your whole robot design, obs, but just removing those awkward angles (which definitely aren't going to be 6 inches, and then you need another 6 inches on either side of the gap in the center there) and using a flat front for your robot with a flip out intake, you could fix this whole problem easily.
