Re: bumper customization?
You don't have to use the official FIRST spec bumpers. But...

If you do, you get the extra 15lbs.
You also get the extra 3 inches or so.

You can make your own bumper however you want but,
You don't get the extra weight or size.

You still can only contact other robots within the defined 'bumper' zone extending 8" from the floor. Also your bumpers cannot be more than 10 degrees from vertical. These last two restrictions are Rules, not Suggestions (like the bumper design).
