Bumpers are a great idea. The problem is that the rules are very strict. With our kit frame and wheels and the lack of modifications allowed, we can't go up the ramp with bumpers. The modifications to the frame and wheels that would allow us to go up the ramp have undesirable effects. So at this time we most likely will not use bumpers. If First in an update allows modifications to the bumper height we would use bumpers. There are many problems with collisions involving bumpered and non-bumpered bots. This whole bumper issue needs rethinking by First going forward. Mandatory bumpers in a bumper zone with certain allowed design modifications would be a very very good thing.
